Actually, they were made by Liquidmetal and Visser. Ref. the article in the July issue of the Advanced Engineering Materials.

"New Methods for Developing and Manufacturing Compliant Mechanisms Utilizing Bulk Metallic Glass"

By Eric R. Homer, Matthew B. Harris, Shannon A. Zirbel, Joanna A. Kolodziejska,Henry Kozachkov, Brian P. Trease, John-Paul C. Borgonia, Gregory S. Agnes, Larry L. Howelland Douglas C. Hofmann

Early commercial-grade BMGs fabricated through die-casting were well-known for having carbide inclusions from the graphite casting crucible, excessive oxygen content from poor vacuums, unknown compositions (due to the use of pre-curser materials with unknown concentrations of impurities), low fracture toughness and low fatigue limits.[24] Supplementary Figures 3–5 show an early casting mold and various low-grade components that failed. In the current work, a new injection casting technology is implemented to fabricate the bistable CM shown in Figure 2.[24, 25]
