You can 3D print the gearbox housing using a composite material. Critical precision components such as bearing seats and shafts should be machined or purchased as metal parts. The bearings are then installed using press-fit metal inserts or secured with adhesive bonding where appropriate.

Google 900MPa:

900 MPa (Megapascals) strength signifies an extremely high yield or tensile strength, typical of advanced high-strength steels (AHSS) used in heavy-duty applications like cranes, heavy transport, and specialized construction, meaning it can withstand immense pushing or pulling forces before deforming or breaking, offering superior load-bearing capacity compared to standard steels

Someday I would like to print an entire gearbox.  I wonder if this could be used for press fit bearings?  Could be a game changer.
