I have some metal 3d printed stuff I think its stainless steel, I figure eventually one of these small shops will have a 3d metal printer and will give them more options of what can be made. You can smooth out the textures on 3d printed materials with different methods. Someone actually 3d printed shotshell cases but I think where they failed is they didnt use a steel ring in the base like the old activ hulls.

Heres a example of 3d printed "smoothing". I really like the idea of making one off or custom items/gear more economical or possible.
