It probably can be done today...

I think it could be done, but I do not see much utility to it.

There are 3D printers that can print in multple materials. Just have them print the outside if the item in two materials: Epoxy and hardener, and the inside in plastic explosive.

But, you could get the same effect by creating an item with a void, and then injecting the explosive into the void and sealing up the hole.
