Optical modules are optical transceiver that are widely used in telecommunications industry. The emergence of 5G sparked a new development trend in optical modules.

probably so but its just one step away from real lqmt.


a few reasons for using lqmt.

Optical modules are tiny and delicate, with a complicated design and with high requirements on the surface. The demand for optical modules is growing exponentially. The mass production rate and high surface quality are some of the requirements when purchasing die casting equipment.

Seems like LK die-cast machines can produce similar quality "liquid metal" type products. Although its not LQMT recipe it acts/feels like similar characteristics. Not saying any IP was involved here - just saying that the larger parts likely go to LK.

LK market will be the 3-5 ft sheets and above with material needs/quality dependent; however, 106c is likely not needed in that size market



LK is surely breaking out - market and all. Demand will likely surge. Not sure how USA mfg gets involved via die-casting needs for EV without any machines in USA and/or any mfg looking to purchase and buildout here.. I know Josh mentioned Tesla is using another company, cant remember name/post....

The LQMT market remains the CE market(which is tbd for LQMT, until we see it happen)... And perhaps a slew of other markets... Would be nice to see a tire pressure gauge to emerge.. will tell me that we aren't just waiting on Apple..

The reference to the 2000c machine is just an extrapolation on my part understanding how big we can go, or will go... maybe a 2000c machine will never emerge too..
