My understanding is that the bulk of housings, plugs, and the like are injection molded; this triggers the supply/demand cycle, costs for set-up, certification, etc., ad infinitum....
I was looking into 3D for metals; thin gauge, a simple structure.
At the present 'state of the art', I'd best be wanting something for SpaceX and damn the cost....
"Audiophilia", at it's extreme applications, will have to remain 'unobtainium' for awhile yet.
Aerogels in larger structures also fall into this category; very tempting, very pricey.
