2023年麻省理工學院的團隊,在美國計算機協會(Association of Computing Machinery)主辦的使用者介面軟體與技術(User Interface Software and Technology)研討會上,發表了這篇介紹FibeRobo的論文。研究團隊認為,他們的成果具有商業化的潛力。畢竟跟雷同的技術比起來,製作FibeRobo的成本相對低廉:機器的針筒幫浦約美金250元;裝滿5、10、20或30毫升原料的針筒,每個至多4元;而生產直徑0.5mm的纖維,每公尺約0.2元。[1]單人操作單機,一天或一個下午就能產出750公尺的纖維;[1, 2]亦有報導指稱是每日1公里。[3, 4]不過,FibeRobo不可回收,儘管某些新興LCE纖維可生物分解,有時搭配的導電材質,仍是廢料處理的阻礙。因此,在這方面還有改善的空間。[1]
