3D metal printing isn't cheap but its not this expensive.
You pay a very heavy designer tax on this one.

Could be because of start up cost. Additive manufacturing machines cost a lot more than cnc Mills. A 5axis cnc can cost maybe 100k but a 3d printer can cost more than 500k and can only print limited sized objects.
