"come from something like a carbon nanomaterial, but from manipulating carbon fiber composites at the mesoscale (few millimeters)" i've thought the same thin, but others have reasons to think advances from the nano end have promise. not sure of either
12 inch is pretty different! this is just my view, but the details of getting everything to work together in the system matters, can usually find aspects of past work in every breakthrough design / product. at the time I looked at it had not seen comparably fine structures

Slit width tape (down to ~1/8in iirc) existed as well. That's automated fiber placement. Automated tape laying is the one with 12 inch spools. The entire range was available to them. The reason people didn't try to make the sorts of things Arevo is making is that it's not useful.

why is it not useful? This is a very hacker news conversation
