Hi all,
It varies with time & place, but above a certain number of copies, injection moulding becomes cheaper than 3D-printing.
Once the cost of a mould is sunk, the unit cost of each additional case is way below the unit cost of a print.
Hope that helps.

Hey All
The Wikipedia store has once again sold out of Internet-in-a-Box. We at Wiki Project Med have used up all our 3D printed cases and are needing to get more, maybe a thousand or two. Thoughts on best way to do this? We had a volunteer print our prior 500 cases.
