... it could also be a hurdle to getting it out of the lab and into real-world applications — at least initially.

Another laboratory wonder. Sounds great, but please define high-strength. Is the material capable of being a pressure vessel?

t is a Laser sintering process which is well developed in 3D printing at this time. I’m sure the issues are the scale and precision of the process. I’m pretty sure those printers don’t exist on a commercial level and would be very expensive today. There may also be a materials issue with both the purity and size of the material probably being critical.

I think it is doable, just very expensive today.

It's just the beginning. Think "mimeograph" machines and where we are today..
