You may be right, but I think they are imagining a tubular frame construction. It would contain a volume of battery or electronics inside the hollow skin.
I guess the problem is can you extrude and form something so small with the precision and metallurgical properties you want to maintain. You probably don't want to just cast it in the final shape, right?

The point being made was, the weight saving from titanitum isn't going to be noticeable when the bulky of the weight is the electronics.

In that case, the savings would be little.

Ah, didn't see this comment. Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking, a hollow structure.
