Noted. Surely the shareholders, for the most part, are not up to speed on the technology, per se.
But, again, once you have absorbed the cost of a mold (to make a prototype or even just a sample) why wouldn't you, AGAIN, make a sample which is complex to provide shock and awe to the investor, as well as to the customer.
In other words, SHOW EVERYONE SOMETHING WHICH CAN SELL. Paperweights do not really sell anything except INERTIA.
So, as you know, by having talked to me on the phone, I remain, STUBBORN WATTS, or others would say, a STUBBORN SQUATTS.
Anyways, I am sure that the prospective customers must certainly have received a more in depth interview and display of samples. YET, the samples at the Engels Day conferences, as DMN and others who attended, know, that they were quite dismal, if not meaningless.
This is me. LQMT has the ability to craft a mold in house with their CNC machine. I would have made a sample as mundane as a pair of tweezers.
1) It would show how thin they could be made.
2) It would have demonstrated the number of cavities per mold
and the uniformity and repeatability of each cavity compared from one cavity to the next
3) By having twenty parts drop out at once instead of only one every 2.5 minutes it would have been a little more dramatic
4) By making something functional, you could see the springiness, elasticity, restoration of deformation to original configuration, etc.
5) On regular tweezers, two halves are welded together to make the finished product. But with the liquidmetal tweezers, both halves are automatically thru injection molding cast together, so there is no welding process at all.
6) Corrosiveness: No rust on such a tweezer sample. Make a dramatic comparison with a cheap set of tweezers to show how (and we all have experienced this) quickly chrome coated steel can rust.
7) Side by side comparison would also show the deformation to the point of flattening of ordinary tweezers when tweezed a bit too strongly
Just saying, again, the shareholders were somewhat dumbed down to.
5) Identification: Everyone can identify with such a sample
