Levy says that while concrete details cannot currently be disclosed, production equipment will not need to be significantly altered. "The metallization processes we are developing will replace current metallization operations, but otherwise have low impact on a given cell line," he says.

Unfortunately getting rid of the furnaces (totally necessary for any of nxt's processes) will be a bit more of an operations issue because they have no salvage value. That is what has stopped the whole process from going viral to date, no one willing to spend money to disrupt a system that works for something that is theoretical. NXT is closer and closer to the tipping point on what today is a delicately balanced pole, but any movement over the center point will tilt it straight down in nxt's favor, by which I mean all companies will have to get on board.
