Let's clear something here. Materion has been missing in Liquidmetal 10k's for three years now...where we could find any formal agreements.
On top of that in 2013, the last time Materion was "present"... here's their role. Hmmm, I don't see any specific contract on feedstock.
"On November 16, 2011, the Company and Materion Brush Inc. (“Materion”) entered into a Development Agreement to evaluate, analyze and develop amorphous alloy feedstock to be supplied in commercial quantities. Further, on June 17, 2012, the Company entered into a Sales Representation Agreement with Materion whereby Materion shall promote the sale of Liquidmetal’s products for certain commissions. This agreement is for a two year initial term with annual, automatic renewals. To date, there have been no commission payments related to this agreement."
For comparison sake here is the Engel agreement.
"On January 31, 2012, the Company entered into a Supply and License Agreement for a five year term with Engel Austria Gmbh (“Engel”) whereby Engel was granted a non-exclusive license to manufacture and sell injection molding machines to the Company’s licensees. Since that time, the Company and Engel have agreed on an injection molding machine configuration that can be commercially supplied and supported by Engel. On December 6, 2013, the companies entered into an Exclusivity Agreement for a 10 year term whereby the Company agreed, with certain exceptions and limitations, that the Company and its licensees would purchase amorphous alloy injection molding machines exclusively from Engel, and this exclusivity right was granted in exchange for certain royalties to be paid by Engel to the Company based on a percentage of the net sales price of such injection molding machines."
Read the news section. Interesting that they say they use silver in their alloy just like Lugee.

"All happens in the Midwest"....really?
Man the Dynacast and Precision Castparts of the world need to immediately close their OC facilities.
Wait, wait, wait.... I thought it was China who did all the worlds die casting, CNC, etc? Lugee must be a stupid CEO to have a facility in California and then handle/will handle the bulk of manufacturing in China for Liquidmetal orders.
Here is the source

They listed the same job in Minnesota too...it's a specific areas they're targeting where they can find industry specific candidates.
Guys it's just a generic template on multiple boards to grab candidates, nothing special.
"Sans company"....it's just a job posting mechanism to reach more candidates in specific markets.
It's our job, it's a template sand company name .
So what's the ramifications to lqmt? It's DOA with this magnesium process? Or bmg composites line up with this magnesium process of Li's?
Speaking of ISO, it expires next year so new facility will be part of recertification.
Contracts worth $5-10m in the next 6-18 months, someone like a Tesla being announced as a customer, 15-20 minutes of one mention of bmg by Apple.
You know though any piece of info could push this thing over nowadays with Li. I'm interested what comes out of next weeks symposium in china.
Actually all we know on this board are a lot of assumptions, theories, conjectures, hopes, etc - about Liquidmetal.
Not taking anything away from josh and his posts, but sometimes it may be to good to be true.
Maybe...
No worries then if you are uncomfortable sharing your knowledge background about Liquidmetal. Your either legit in my book or full of you know what. Mine is in the banking/insurance industry.
Honest question - what's your background that your answers imply to know a lot about bmgs?
I shared this last week...who will be the first to do use it? This is from LG.

Lots of words to defend your lqmt position
Pay, I don't want to rain on your parade....but in the upcoming china symposium it stated Foxconn was invited. Couldn't remember if Catcher was invited or not. That tells me that no LM case, which was a Long shot anyways. The supply chain is just beginning to come together for bmgs...if it shows up it will be in small part.
Ok that's stupid to have fingerprint sensor on the back

Ok thanks , I follow you now.
The following come to mind when you are talking about surface finish, of recent:

Can you clarify this:
"Bruce, why do we need MIM to patch up the imperfection ???
Say what you Do and Do what you Say.
MIM patch, coating, ion pulsing, plating....etc., they all will kill BMG dream being commercialized. "
Anyone getting error message when trying to access Liquidmetal site?
http://liquidmetal.com
They'll use the liquidmorphium name as TRI technically was the owner of that name. Maybe we should ask Liquidmetal team what is the official name of their alloys?
Great info Dog! Interesting That this is for china. The "Liquidmorphium" trademark is dead in the United States.
Voting is closed so keeping an eye out for any results announcement...
Dam idiots giving away the patents!!! Great share DPP....lots of good information!
Liquidmetal is there as an exhibitor.

All? Can you share that proof with us?
When Liquidmetal becomes a "subsiderary" of someone else I will have you to thank for warning us....
Good observations josh
Know your facts ...that HK entity is Lugees entity that holds his Liquidmetal shares ....
Leslie wants his picture back

"In one embodiment, the first housing component may be formed via a first process and the second housing component may be formed via a second process. The processes may be similar or they may be different. For example, the first housing component may be formed via various forming techniques, such as drawing, an extrusion process, machining, forging, and bending, while the second housing component may be formed via different processes, such as injection molding, punching, and the like. It should be appreciated that injection molding is not limited to only plastic material and may be applied to other materials, such as metals. Liquid Metal is one example of a metal material that can be injected molded."
One of those times Apple "misspells"....
