It's not rocket science … wait, yes it is!

Lots of people keeping an eye on this company. They created one of the biggest 3D metal printers yet.

Whoa! Rocket nozzles have to handle mucho pressure at extreme temps. That should pretty much settle the debate concerning the viability of 3D printing technology.
Thanks posting and pinging guys!
Lately, I've been doing quite a bit of 3D printing myself. Still looking to upgrade to a printer that will handle materials with a melting point over 275C, soon hopefully.

I wonder, have any astronauts done 3D printing in Outer Space? It just seems to be a good fit, printing objects with minimal effects of gravity, reducing or eliminating the need for support structures.
This would reduce the need for sending finished objects into space. All they would need is abundant supplies of materials to feed the printer engine (and spare parts for the 3D printer). Broken rocket nozzle? Astronauts could print a replacement while in space.
