Form is function in high performance manufacturing (including most of aerospace). Just switch materials is a huge deal. If you set out with "use additive manufacturing" as one of your requirements/design goals, you can probably use additive manufacturing in a lot of aero. Using additive manufacturing to drop in replace existing parts that were made with different materials and techniques is very unlikely however.
