The Great Treat Forward: printing airplane parts in your garage
Do they print them out from pig iron?
Only the finest discount-submarine-grade carbon fiber.
"this is your captain speaking. We are still trying to pair the Logitech F710 to the plane, but we should be ready for takeoff within the next ten minutes"

No way would they not try to reinvent the wheel
There are 3-D printers for metal. There's a few different designs. All of them, however, are large, industrial machines meant to be installed on a factory floor or lab. You can't just set one up in your garage. Their size alone is a limiting factor.
Pretty neat tech that's constantly improving. But like with all 3-D printed stuff, they're meant more for stuff like making quick replacements for specialized components. For mass production? Absolutely fucking garbage idea. It's like thinking an inkjet printer you use at home is the most effective way to publish daily newspapers.
