I've been watching this private Canadian company. They are pretty big and moving Global HQ to Oak Ridge... A few of their BOD members quite high-up in military.

Here's what they say on their homepage about graphite:

“We are a generation that has observed revolution in telecommunication, information dissemination technologies, robotics and printing of various three-dimensional metal objects. This last one will change the face and function of manufacturing completely. The days of tool, die and mold making will be over soon. Steel mills will not produce steel the inefficient way they are doing today. The industries that use metals and plastics in manufacturing things will not be the same in the next ten years. They will be much more efficient, environmentally neutral and allow customers to have their own unique ideas incorporated into the objects they buy. Graphite and graphene will take centre stage in the objects and the equipment we use. 4D Printing offers an exciting capability. This is truly a radical shift in our understanding of structures, which have up to now remained static and rigid. (Think of the output of aerospace and automotive industries, civil structures and pipelines, etc.) They will soon become dynamic, variable in size and shape, adaptable for on-demand performance. They can reshape, assemble or disassemble themselves over short periods of time. All one has to do is to add some kind of energy. This could be kinetic energy, electrical energy, change of temperature, pressure, or at times a change in the ambient environment of the object. Those manufacturers who do not pay attention to this revolution, will not be here in ten years time.”Kamran M. Khozan
