[Discussion] I have heard that 3D printing is good for rapid prototyping, but what about localized manufacturing? What are some advantages/disadvantages of FDM vs injection molded parts?

One disadvantage of FDM parts are that they are usually weaker than injection molded ones because of how the extruded lines have to fuse together rather than just being moulded in one piece.
