Are there companies that you could hire to do the bulk of the 3d printing?  Any idea what the quality and/or cost would be?

Is there any feasibility of producing the laptop parts via injection molding, but preserving the design in a way that end users could still print replacement parts?  Seems like this would require a large redesign investment but could save time and money manufacturing.
