Aerospace, especially engine manufacturers, have been heavily investing into 3D printing of metallic structural parts for a while now. Shaping of parts like turbine and compressor blades has been partially limited by fabrication methods, but with 3D printing the opportunities are nearly endless. I’m not sure if they are doing any flight critical parts yet, but that future is coming.
