The idea of making assemblies that were never assembled is intriguing. If you ‘grow’ a multi-part product by a direct manufacture process, can you then even call it an assembly? We don’t, after all, refer to animals and plants as assemblies — we call them organisms. My dog is not an assembly; neither am I. In the English language, the inanimate equivalent of an organism should probably be a mechanism (you can see the symmetry), but regrettably this word has a strict meaning in engineering . Not all multi-part ‘assemblies’ are mechanisms, obviously. What other words could work: construction, fabrication? To my mind neither implies the possibility of moving parts. We should most likely stay with assembly and live with the contradiction and irony it embodies when applied to things made by direct, additive methods.

What’s wrong with the word ‘system’? Nicely neutral, implying complexity and well in use around the place. Then add various descriptors to the word to explain what it does. How about working up an ontology of manufacture? I am sure they are available, but a properly done one can include living organisms as well as machines, cyborgs and the like. Clears the mind something wonderful!
I like this, I think. So a car (always the car) is a manufactured, assembled, mechanical/electronic, self-propelled system?
A cat is a naturally grown, biological, animate system? Tree: naturally grown, biological, inanimate system? Skin tissue culture: synthetically grown, biological, animate system component? I’m making this up, but is this what you have in mind? So if we were able to make a… stapler, by an additive process, we could call this an additive manufactured mechanical system? One thing I feel is missing from these, is the information that the thing is self-contained, is one closed object. Otherwise the term ‘system’ may imply an interconnected or networked group of things. Do you agree? Should we therefore add ‘self-contained’ (or some other term) to signify this property?
