That technology is still in its infancy, and the materials available set the limits for what you can do with it. There are some 3D gun drawings out there and there has been a lot of talk about "home printed" guns, but none of them seem to work. I'm sure that we'll hear more about this in the future, but right now it can't be used for much more than making headlines:
