Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

[Polski]

The product strategy has changed. LQMT has become a manufacturing company that offers alternative processes such as MIM. One process does not fit all applications. Liquidmetal is an amorphous metal and as such has some characteristics which limit its applications. The impact strength is a major weakness since it will shatter like glass. Hence they are going towards a strategy of alternative processes like MIM. MIM is a well known process that has many applications for inexpensive parts. It can provide a source of badly needed revenue. The bottom line is they need revenue to finance the long term development of amorphous metal alloy applications. Don't blame Tom Steipp or the other people who have worked on developing this tough to process alloy. It has been a very long road and it will still take several years to perfect certain applications especially in medical or aerospace.
