Also forgot to say 3D metal printing is something you might want to look into. It's certainly still not fully automated but it doesn't require you to use "tool paths" so if higher automation is your goal it's the best route so far.

And of course if something is possible others are already doing it. Lots of people have already made 3D online metal printing services. They're not cheap. I read a university had one of these 3D printers and made a mold for a manufacturer and it cost $40,000, the mold only weighted about 15 pounds and was smaller than a lunchbox lol.
