“Sounds to me Kraig has plans on producing several different lines (worm strains) of spider silk fibers at the same time. If not, why all eleven labs? One line for ballistic type fibers, one or two for medical type fibers, one for performance type fibers for apparel, one for industrial type fibers for filters etc., one for automotive applications like seatbelts, tires etc.,and a few for the spider silk proteins themselves (no fibers) to be used for various applications? as drug in delivery etc.”
This is big 3D. With infrastructure in place and production running we could see contracts sooner than we think.
This is different in the sense that we can continue to produce non stop without signed contracts because of the demand.but I suspect we see supply contracts announced at any time now.
