    It’s cool to learn about the industrial processes being used, like injection molding of metal.

    Thixomolding is an insanely cool manufacturing technique in which magnesium alloy is heated to a temperature at which it is semi-liquid and then injection molded into custom tooling. This allows for extremely precise large parts with detailed structural elements.

    I’m really curious what the final dimensions of that thing will be.
