>>So is there any reason to buy a 3d printer over an injection molding machine?
There are two big reasons:
1. when you need to do a low production run, like 1000 or less parts
2. when you need parts with geometry that can't be made any other way.

Injection molding isn't inherently better than 3d printing and vice versa. They are both tools for getting the job done and it really depends on what the job is.
