Just as I thought long ago. Machining titanium is a very difficult process that produces very high cost waste. 3D printing gets around all that. Metals are the strongest materials around but they're costly to deal with unless you're using a 3DP machine.
Next up is with all those metallurgists 3DS has. Anyone remember how stainless steel was discovered? A researcher made casts of many different alloys to test for the properties he was seeking. Months later he noticed that, in the pile of rejected castings, one casting had failed to tarnish. Since he kept fastidious records, he immediately knew what the composition of that casting was, viola, stainless steel had been discovered.
But that took many months of melting, mixing and pouring castings. With today's 3DP machines, you can quickly make a whole series of alloys and mixtures easily and then test them for the properties you seek. In a field where just a few percent of one metal or substance as an additive can make very large differences in the way the alloy behaves, there's a need for an almost endless series of trials of new alloys. Only 3DP makes any sense and who knows what will be discovered? I mean, just imagine getting the strength of titanium from a much cheaper alloy? 3DS is the most likely source of any new discoveries = patents. ...And the beat goes on.
Cramer is probably under the spell of the shorters who are, very likely, spending big bucks to save their investment. Remember, even when the stock price fell to 28 dollars per share there were still 16 million short positions that remained open, even when the stock rose to 96. Then we watched and saw the short position increase to some 36 million shares, AFTER the stock had fallen considerably lower. So it is with very good reason to suspect manipulative short selling. We saw that with the Citron report when the share price immediately plunged to 50/share after he shouted that it would. It quickly rebounded, however, and many of those short positions still remained and stay even until today. My guess is they're stuck, the price goes down but there's still not enough shares for them to cover, so they have to keep beating the bush.
