Has Apple Gained Access to the World's Most Advanced Manufacturing Tech?
Apple is known for nosing out unique and revolutionary manufacturing tech, and they may have just done so again, according to the knowledgeable folks over at Cult of Mac. Insiders say Apple's recent licensing deal with Liquidmetal Technologies is a play to gain the device maker access to the most advanced materials manufacturing technology on the planet. Liquidmetal Technologies, a California-based manufacturing firm, is an under-the-radar fabrication company that has had its fair share of ups and downs in past years as it has tried to land contracts to manufacture a variety of objects from golf clubs to gadget cases. In doing so they've rooted out some issues with their own proprietary product, a hard and lightweight metal alloy that can be processed as easily as plastic.
