I have a 3D model made that I was going to have 3D printed and then create a mold so I could replicate it numerous times. Does anyone know if I can go straight from 3D model to a mold? Skipping the initial 3D printing part? Or does anyone know a printer who does large quantities for an affordable price?

What quantities are we talking about? 10, 100, 1000? How complicated and large is the print and would a two part mold do the job or do you need the mold to be splitted in more pieces to dis-/assemble? Kind regards, Marius Breuer
Looking at roughly 100 of them. I’ve attached the STL model.

Looking at roughly 100 of them but one day would probably need 1000 of them. I’ve attached the STL file.

What material will the final product be made of? I print casting wax which is used to make molds for metal casting. If you need a mold for plastic/rubber type of material, I print several materials with a high glass transition temperature(temp where they start to get soft) like polycarbonate or PEEK that might work for such purposes but I would need more info.
Let me know if you have any questions or if you thing I could help.
