Okay, wait a minute. I got ahead of myself. I assumed they would do that but haven't seen it verified anywhere. It wouldn't make any sense to have split manufacturing.

Our Lake Forest facility will support volume production of three distinct technologies.

First, our flagship cold crucible injection molding systems are in active use. These systems provide exceptional control over oxygen and other impurities that affect the performance of amorphous metal parts.

Second, we are about to receive our first two hot crucible die cast machine, leveraging technology developed by Eon.

Finally, we planned to add metal injection molding or MIM production to our manufacturing capabilities. MIM is a mature technology that is similar in some ways to Liquidmetal. Metal part or injection molding is a multi-step process, it is more difficult to control than that of metal but with significantly lower material cost.

You can also expect CNC machines to be used in Lake Forest for further processing needs after Injection Molding,Die Casting,Sintering.

“Our Lake Forest facility will support volume production of three distinct technologies.”

This suggest that Engel machines will be located at Lake Forest, either new machine orders or Transferring the existing machine/s from the Manufacturing Centre of Excellence at RSM.
