Yes, there will definately be some displacement.
Whether it will occur disruptively fast, or gradually will depend on public acceptance/product-perfomance.

I personally know of an metalurgy-instrument manufactor that is waffling between suppliers of ceramic components.
With an "in-house" printer, these items could be made at their own facility, any "sizing" could be customized.
As it is for them now, they order from China...one-in-five of the parts fit correctly. Order the USA parts five-of-six fit, but the parts are 75% more expensive. (Still a savings with the USA parts, less labor trying to get shoddy, inaccurate parts to fit.)
