Additive manufacturing with metal, plastics, rubber, etc. is common. Along with other composites that have properties more advantageous than metal in many ways.

Yes there is such a thing but it is not 3D printing.
Look at it 2 ways. You start with a block or metal and whittle it down to what you need - traditional machining.
Or, you start with nothing and add material into a pile to create what you need- additive manufacturing ie 3D printing.
