The 3-D printing as far as it goes for mass production of aerospace parts is still new. Plus the rigor and regulations the industry has to follow are of the highest standards, so it is no surprise what suppliers need to go through to become provideers of materials in the manufacturing process.

I think auto manufacturers will also be looking to use this technology moving forward as they retool their plants towards the next generation of vehicles. The technology is still pretty new and isn't being used as much as we think because of the time and expense it takes for these companies to retool.
