Manufacturers will pay quite a bit for tooling if FDM plastic material properties fit their requirements. Especially if you are able to do CAD from a specification. Like if you're willing and able to 1-day print and ship some very specific green rectangles, you may be pleasantly surprised at the margins on those.
