This is pretty cool, but I assume the increase in productional complexity means consumers won't benefit from this for quite some time.

It's either cheaper or it isn't. I don't understand this "but you make it up in volume" logic.

It's cheaper to make a greater volume of a product since you pay once for tools and your factory, which can make any amount of a product.
