Good catch, LQMT surface matches iPhone case prototype photo very well indeed !

However, it can be upgraded or modified per LQMT.

Surface Treatment

Most customers chose to utilize the as-molded finish of the Liquidmetal parts. This allows us to do a minimal amount of extra processing on the surface and leaves the customer with a finish that matches the surface roughness of the mold.

If a polished mold is specified, it is typical to see Liquidmetal parts come out of the tool with a surface roughness of 0.025-0.050µm (1-2µin). The best corrosion resistance also occurs with an as-molded product.

In some cases, customers may determine that a blasted finish is optimal for aesthetic reasons. A variety of blasting media can be used for this, including Zirconia, Alumina, Silica, etc. This can be discussed further with Liquidmetal engineers.

Other options for part finishes include painting and even PVD (physical vapor deposition).
