Injection molding has the big up front cost of having a mold made, and runs of parts in the hundreds at minimum.  But the parts are cheaper and stronger than 3D printed.

I run a printer for the small company I work for, and we make several small parts on it, and prototypes.

I'm working at https://sospersonalalarm.com/. Now we're trying to find some new ways to create our products, and interested in 3D-printing. So i'm here to ask if it is possible to make any parts on 3D printers.
I'll be grateful for any usefull info)
