Not sure what you are getting at. LQMT certainly did “directly manufacture“ several products, in-house. The Isolite part, the hybrid knife, etc were made in-house. The Engel machines were purchased - not licensed. Even before Engel came on the scene they die stamped amorphous metal parts (such as flip phone hinges and SIM card ejector pins).

Partnering/licensing with entities that can purchase equipment and materials in bulk for mass production is the way forward.

I’ll buy that. Just trying to bend my head round the final corner of how the above translates to actual revenue for LQMT. I understand that beyond the inherently superior qualities of BMG in a given application, clients need assurance of reliable and timely parts delivery. So does adaptation of the EVP-HPDC process define the breakout moment for BMG mass production? Has Prof Li built it so now they (industries in need of BMG parts) will come? Of course I hope so. Assuming that comes to pass, I am left trying to grasp how customers will sign up with LQMT and not go VFR direct to EonTec. I guess(!) the LQMT/Yihao lashup is supposed to ensure that outcome. We all know Li has plenty of incentive to ensure things play out that way; it will be interesting to see how and watch as events continue to unfold. Even more so if LQMT’s PPS starts heading north in the relatively near future!
