DI Labs Additive Manufacturing vs Injection Molding

Biocompatible Materials

DI Labs

Wide variety of biocompatible materials including polymers, elastomers & metals

Injection Molding

Wide variety of  biocompatible materials including polymers, elastomers & metals

Tool-Free Manufacturing

DI Labs

No tooling required, eliminating capital expense & long wait times

Injection Molding

Tooling required with significant capital expense & long wait times

On-Demand Batch Production

DI Labs

Short lead times to support acceleration through testing & clinical trials

Injection Molding

Long lead times for mold changes through testing & trials

Unlimited Design Iteration 

DI Labs

Tool-free enables responsive design iteration based on user feedback

Injection Molding

Expensive, design-locked tooling limits responsiveness & abilty to iterate
