Usually, you're doing good to get 2 out of 3.
You need to cough up some more details, like, application, environment. etc. Diamond fits the bill, but for a very limited set of applications.

Plenty of ways to make a flex joint, if he just wants it to hinge once.
Weatherproof, so you want the box to seal, and resist sun, rain, hot, and cold?
And you want to do it additive, because????
They are called injection molded enclosures and electronics guys use by the millions.
