3D injection printing

Not related to Prusa printers but thought this was very interesting and thought I would share.

Doesn't work for traditional injection molding.  The material temperatures alone would melt any FDM plastic, plus the pressures of the molding machine and the molten plastic.... fogetaboutit.

Something could be done with silicone or another low-quality low-quantity process.

But the high-volume process of "injection molding" isn't going to happen anytime soon with Plastic FDM as the mold cavity.
