I don't agree with this statement as people like Lamborghini use high tech carbon fiber materials that are cured under vacuum in an autoclave, they can do as few as one part or a thousand parts at one time. You mix just enough resin for your needs, all of the current resins have a 6 month shelf life as a minimum.
If Delorean gave me an STL file i could carve a plug for this vehicle in less than 400 hours on my CNC machines and spray primer, polish and produce molds in a further 8 weeks ready for production. The real skill and what takes time and money is the design and model testing, months or years are spent proving theorys.
