sooner or latter it will be all of them and more that migrate to bmg
once 1 company makes the move all the rest will have too just to keep up with the new tech/manufacturing/product possibilities and lugee has built the maze in anticipation of this.
its finally beginning
after that 'first/recurring/volume/orders' pr its only going to grow bigger and bigger every year and we will always raise the share price target for the next year lolz
ground floor baby
the more companies using amm the more 6+6% royalty/referral fees collected by lqmt/lugee
lqmt management have been telling us all along what they are doing.
next quarter we see the results/revenue
if it has inductive charging is has to be bmg apple wouldnt make the entire back out of glass
next few weeks that ipad gets released fingers crossed it has wireless charging
the delay is frustrating but i have more shares now so i shouldnt complain
These are the expect color options for the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. Which one would you get? pic.twitter.com/b4DhQoMWOB

i know your just having a laugh but just incase your not.
tight tolerance interchangeable interlocking metal flags not possible with cnc.
thermoplastic molded like plastics/polymers.
harder more elastic than stainless steel/titanium.
nonmagnetic
rf transparent
and yes it also comes in multiple colors
lqmt also oxidizes its alloy its harder than oxidized surface of titanium with more color options.
so much potential with this metal looking forward to its wide adoption/use one day people will tell me about this new amazing liquidmetal and i will just smile as the share price grows

[0057] Formation of an engagement feature can include a subtractive process such as machining, etching, laser-based processes, cutting, grinding, and other subtractive processes. In some examples, an engagement feature can be formed by an additive process, such as a deposition process, a spraying process, a 3D printing process, and other similar additive processes. Alternatively, multiple processes can be used to form the engagement feature or features.
[0060] In some examples, the interior or inner portion of the composite member can include any material that has a desired material property or properties and can be welded, bonded, adhered, or otherwise joined to an exterior portion. For example, the interior portion can include organic materials such as polymeric materials, ceramic materials, metallic materials, or combinations thereof. In some examples, the interior portion can include a metallic material such as aluminum, copper, steel, or alloys or combinations thereof. In some examples, the interior portion can include a metallic material having a foamed structure or a bulk metallic glass. In some examples, the interior portion can itself be a composite material, such as a carbon reinforced polymer material, ceramic reinforced polymer material, a metal matrix composite material, a ceramic matrix composite material, or other composite materials. The interior portion can have any desired thickness. For example, the interior portion of the composite member can have a thickness of several millimeters. In other examples, however, the interior portion of the composite member can have a thickness such that it extends substantially entirely across an entire width of the electronic device.
[0061] In some examples, the exterior or outer portion of the composite member can include any material that has a desired material property or properties and can be welded, bonded, adhered, or otherwise joined to an interior portion. For example, the exterior portion can include organic materials such as polymeric materials, ceramic materials, metallic materials, or combinations thereof. In some examples, the exterior portion can include a metallic material such as steel, titanium, or alloys or combinations thereof. In other examples, the exterior portion can include precious or semi-precious metals such as silver, gold, platinum, or alloys or combinations thereof. Alternatively, the exterior portion can include ceramic materials, such as alumina or sapphire, zirconia, carbides, nitrides, borides, oxides, or combinations thereof. The exterior portion can further include a metallic material such as a bulk metallic glass. In some examples, the exterior portion can itself be a composite material, such as a carbon reinforced polymer material, ceramic reinforced polymer material, a metal matrix composite material, a ceramic matrix composite material, or other composite materials.
[0074] The positioning apparatus can mechanically engage the boss or bosses, for example, by grabbing, clamping, or engaging with one or more engagement features of a boss. In some examples, the positioning apparatus can additionally or alternatively engage a boss by other forms, for example, magnetic engagement, gluing, adhesives, welding, and other engagement methodologies. In some examples, a feature can be formed in the frame member, for example, while the positioning apparatus is supporting the member via one or more bosses. In some examples, a feature can be formed by an additive manufacturing process, a subtractive manufacturing process, or combinations thereof. For example, a feature can be formed in the member by a subtractive process such as machining, etching, laser- based processes, cutting, grinding, and other subtractive processes. In other examples, a feature can be formed in or on the member by an additive process, such as a deposition process, a 3D printing process, and similar additive processes. In yet other examples, multiple processes can be used to form a feature or features in the member. Further, multiple features can be formed in or on the member.
[0140] In some examples, a stage of the treatment at block 930 can affect or substantially affect only the material of one of the interior or exterior portions. In other examples, however, the part of the surface defined by one of the interior or exterior portions can be masked or otherwise treated so that a stage of the treatment only affects or forms features on the unmasked, or untreated portion. In alternative examples, however, the treatment can form an engagement feature or features on a part of the surface defined by both the interior portion and the exterior portion. The treatment at block 930 can include a subtractive treatment process or processes, such as machining, etching, laser-based processes, cutting, grinding, and similar subtractive processes. In some examples, the treatment at block 930 can include an additive process, such as a deposition process, a thermal spraying process, a 3D printing process, and other similar additive processes. In some examples, the treatment at block 930 can include multiple processes to form the engagement feature or features.
[0148] At block 1120, a feature or features are formed in the member while orienting the member via the boss. In some examples, a positioning apparatus can mechanically or otherwise engage the boss to support, orient, and position the member at block 1120. The positioning apparatus can position the member in any number of desired orientations via the boss or bosses. In some examples, the positioning apparatus can hold the member in one position or orientation while a feature is formed at block 1120. In other examples, however, a positioning apparatus can move the member between any number of different positions and orientations while the feature is formed at block 1120. The feature can include any desired shape or size, and can be any of the features described herein, such as those illustrated in FIGS. 5-8. In some examples, the feature can be formed by an additive manufacturing process, a subtractive manufacturing process, or combinations thereof. For example, the feature can be formed in the member by a subtractive process such as machining, etching, laser-based processes, cutting, grinding, and similar subtractive processes. Alternatively, the feature can be formed in or on the member by an additive process, such as a deposition process, a 3D printing process, and other similar additive processes. In some examples, multiple processes can be used to form the feature. Furthermore, multiple features can be formed in or on the member at block 1120.

2. Experimental procedures
2.1. Gas-atomisation and selective laser melting (SLM)
Master ingot with a nominal composition of Zr52.5Ti5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10 (in at.%) was supplied by Liquidmetal® Technologies, Inc. under the trade name LM105. The powder used was produced using electrode in- duction melting gas atomization (EIGA) and was below 106 µm in diam- eter(D10 =30µm,D50 =61µmandD90 =108µm),whichwas obtained through sieving the as-atomised powder.
5. Conclusion
In this study, a large scale, complex and fully dense crack-free Zr52.5Ti5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10 BMG was successfully fabricated through SLM. The influence of processing parameters on the microstructure and me- chanical properties of the fabricated BMGs were systematically investi- gated. The following points are drawn from this study:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/312421074_3D_printing_of_large_complex_metallic_glass_structures
3. Experiment and testing
In this study, 100 µm-thick LM105 (Zr52.5Ti5Al10Ni14.6Cu17.9 (at.%)) amorphous foils were selected for welding onto 0.75 mm-thick LM105 amorphous plates, both are provided by Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc.
Fig. 5 illustrates the top and cross-section views of the 10 mm sam- ple as shown in Fig. 4. As can be seen in Fig. 5(a), the overlap of two laser spots is about 67%. The inset of Fig. 5(a) shows the welding “jumping” sequence which was designed to prevent heat accumulation at any loca- tion (i.e., increase the CR). From Fig. 5(b), no cracks or pores are found. The density of the tested part was measured using the Archimedes' method which is 6.607 g/cm3. This value is close to the original foil den- sity of 6.57 g/cm3 provided by Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. and 6.599 g/cm3 tested by us.
Fig. 6 shows the comparison of DSC test results between the as-re- ceived plate and the LFP fabricated test part at a heating rate of 20 °C/ min from room temperature to 600 °C. The sample part (Curve 2) showsTg ˜400°CandTx1 ˜469°CandTx2 ˜479°C.Theyareclose to what were reported from Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc.: Tg =

posted by josh a while back from eon q&a
Q: Current liquid metal technology reserves three main directions, the first is banded, this has been relatively mature, the second is that we are currently doing block amorphous, and third one is to make powder. The powder has an application direction is 3D printing, can you introduce this aspect?
A: The powder has two uses, one is the surface coating, has the function of wear-resisting, antiseptic and so on, and one is 3D printing. We have a company. Liaoning Gold Research Liquid Metal Technology Co., Ltd., the company accounted for 70%, CAS metal 30%. Liaoning Liquid Metal has a subsidiary called Shenyang Jianyan new material preparation Technology Co., Ltd., engaged in 3D printing from powder production to final product preparation, but has not been promoted. We recently received 3 millions funding from the Guangdong provincial government, the real application will probably be in the early next year, will focus on materials, to provide customers with powder, printing links We will not do, the technology content is too low.
Q: Do you do liquid metal powders?
Will the properties of the amorphous alloy be maintained during the 3D printing process?
A: Also doing, and strength and other aspects of performance is relatively excellent. In 3D printing we take a special cooling method to meet the formation conditions, so the printed material is still liquid metal, which is what we are different from ordinary 3D printing.
i wish it wasnt android
if the new mini led/apple silicon macbooks have wireless charging then what would the case material be made from.

amazing post bb4p you have my vote for president.
thanks for sharing
"and I have difficulty counting past a million"
ha! i hope we will all have that problem come years end.
i only know from what was posted about the case last year i linked it the previous reply but whatever the number it going to be huge.
kang is enough of a sociopath that he probably thought he could do it make lugee his contract manufacture and stick himself as the middle man.
20-60k medical parts per month is awesome and might bring more investors than ce would.
the medical market segment is not tarnished with any ambiguity that for now at least surrounds ce.
november cant come soon enough and greedy me still wants those volume orders to be both ce & med.
screw the guitar pins smh
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=151179785
interesting twist bb4p customer could be Arthrex
60,000 parts per month fits the 'first/volume/recurring orders'
your right as long as lqmt makes money it dont matter from who
apple would rocket the pps but proof of medical use wouldnt be that far behind.
each one alone would be very positive news but im greedy i want both of them.
nice to see the price bounce back hopefully the penny raiders will give up
your killing me juice who is the customer!!!
