Granted, it takes a lot more time and money than using 3D printers.
That is the entire point, so I don't think it can be waved away in a single sentence. Obviously, for centuries you could buy an entire forge, for decades you could buy commercial CNC equipment, for maybe a decade you could by cheaper "prosumer" CNC equipment, and for a year or three you could buy consumer 3D printers.
