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:
Rapid Prototyping
Using FDM where injection molding would struggle, examples include articulating toys.
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.
