I see just the opposite. With digital manufacturing we can now create new parts and designs that could not otherwise be made using casting, molding machining, or other conventional methods. Making hollow parts with material only where you need it and parts without draft because they dont have to come out of a mold or parts where you pause the digital manufacturing to embed parts of different materials and resume printing to encapsulate those parts. On top of that, the time from concept to "in your hands" is very short.
