Hi,
Injection Molding for less than 150 parts a year will be very expensive - mainly because of cost of mold and machine time. It is also thick for molding. Not sure from the drawing about the mini-features you need. You may try to go to a a composites manufacturer - wild guess here. I have been reading a lot about 3-D printing. Think out of the box and may be you have the answer!

For that volume they should find another method. Isn't that resin an LCP?

You may get the best answer from the Ticona people or from the literature of the material. Sorry, not trying to blow you off.
