Are you sure? Liquid metal was the name of a bulk metallic glass. There were usb flash drives using it as a case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidmetal. Wikipedia lists apple licensing this technology. Metal injection molding is also a thing but I haven't heard it called liquid metal. Usually its MIM. | ||||||||

Honestly, I didn't know that "amorphous metal alloy" is also called metallic glass. I computed it to something else entirely. So you're right on that front. MIM is something else, that's right, but properties of Liquid Glass allows it to be injection molded AFAIK. MIM process is completely different from casting Liquid Metal. MIM generally starts as a powder and heated and molded, Liquid Metal can be just "melted and molded". I have a stainless steel razor built with MIM. Has no resemblence to SanDisk Titanium's feel (which I also have). | ||||||||
