Prototype Injection Molding

[twoface262]

Hey Guys, I've been working on a fitness wearable for the last few years and am at the stage where I'm ready to start polishing the final product.

I have my PCB, Code, Phone App, and marketing materials ready -- however the final shell for the device is 3D printed and very "prototype-esc"

While my 3D printed model appears to work fine, there are a few details I have to leave out due to the way additive printing works (support structures and needing very precise measurements for the heart rate sensor).

Is there a low cost (>$200 USD) prototyping service for injection molds? I'm going to have a few revisions before I chose the final casing for it.

Thanks!
