The two must be complementary.
The advantage of 3D printing is that it can achieve hollow and fine structures that traditional techniques cannot or are difficult to achieve; but the disadvantage is that it is very time-consuming. If the structure of the water bottle size uses 0.1mm accuracy, it is about 10-20h, and the 0.05mm accuracy time doubles.
The advantage of mold injection is that it is fast and can be mass-produced; the disadvantage is that the accuracy is relatively low.
