In the future devices like these will need to be made, especially for soldiers. Essentially most of the armour they are thinking of and have designed are disposable so soldiers would literally have to be wrapped up in them.

Shame that such scientific genius is being used for such ends.

I am sure there are better things that could be done with it...

The same tech will also be needed in the fashioning of clothes.

Its feasible in the future that people could have the machines in their homes and have a new set of clothes made for them a day.

Or made so tough, that they last many years longer..?

Pritty much, and im guessing low cost too which means cheaper clothes and we will be able to help the homeless and third world country's by supplying long lasting clothes.
