That totally depends, regarding some products yes, some don't. One criticall factor is time and the price for the machinery (3D). Bulk shipping and bulk in general is quite cheap and biggest portion for the price is labour and required profit. 3D printing some 1 cent product for the price of 1 $ doesn't make sense, unless you can print at the customers doorstep.
