Read this and weep fellow unicorns. Engel has moved on and appears to be on the road to commercializing BMG products with it's own new technology.

Heraeus and Engel Join Forces For Injection Molding Liquid Metals

Engel is offering a special AMM version of its hydraulic victory tiebarless machine with injection speed of 1000 mm/sec standard. This allows for very thin walls and reportedly achieves cycle times up to 70% shorter than previous amorphous-metal injection molding solutions, and the required heating power is reduced by 40-60%. In a single step, parts can be molded in 60 to 120 sec with a surface fineness of 0.05 microns, so manual reworking or further surface finishing is unnecessary for most applications. Both Heraeus Amloy materials and Engel victory AMM machines are available without a license.
