Metal 3D printing technology is maturing rapidly. Many of the aerospace standard materials are available (aluminums and stainless steels, though titaniums seem to not quite be there yet). You won't find it in production much across the aerospace industry, except in trivial applications. ~Everyone~ is testing heavily, and trying to find the sweet spots where it makes sense. Probably a few more years before it flies on anything manned.
