Could this have real-world applications on earth? Getting a good vacuum and cleaning the parts doesn't seem terribly hard.

How long does the process take?



I could be wrong but usually melting and molding the metal is an easier way to get a specific shape on Earth. Don't see why you couldn't just do that if you wanted a combination of some shapes.

I'm wondering if there's an application as a self-destruction mechanism on a lock or something like that. There's still far easier methods.
