Will 3D printing replace CNC?

3D printing can't replace the traditional NC machining process. There is no pressure process in 3D printing, and the strength of printed products is lower than that of forged metal blanks. It is only used in some occasions where the intensity is not high, but 3D printing also has its advantages. For example, honeycomb printing can greatly improve the specific strength of materials, which is incomparable to traditional processing.
