    Wow, there are some really in depth and great replies thank you everyone.

    Right now for my use cases some of the advantages I see are:

    1. Rapid Prototyping
    2. Using FDM where injection molding would struggle, examples include articulating toys.
    3. Low volume production runs

    Does anyone have a multi-filament printer? I am not quite sure how this would compare with injection molding, but I am able to get relatively fine color changes on a single part. See picture of an earring that I am prototyping.
