That is one of those limitation of the 3D printers, I know I have an ARM-10 here that was given to me by a friend who had to leave China in a hurry. Unfortunately it worked twice for me ('effectively' anyway) minus the poor surface finishes. And they just take forever to print out :/ Nice to get a part done for yourself if you are not in a rush but for a production run, one would need to machine a injection mold for that particular part. Those mold normally cost in the 'many' thousand of dollars unfortunately.
I think Charles got the answer. I cutting & forming die would both be 1000x easier (and cheaper) to machine in steel. I think there is something nice to make out of the material that Charles posted above. E.g. nice and thin metallic mesh (Italian supercar style). yummy
