Then he should avoid LiquidMetal. It's density ranges from ~7.4 to 8.0 grams per cc, depending upon the alloy.

LiquidMetal's alloys (note, there is no alloy called "LiquidMetal") can be cast much thinner in more complex shapes. Estimates show half the weight for a MacBook Pro re-cast using these alloys.

Note that casting Al and Mg and AlMg alloys is rather well understood

As are the rather serious limitations that LiquidMetal's alloys don't have.

Having worked with some LiquidMetal samples in the past, their estimates and claims should be taken with a VERY large block of salt... There's a reason no one is using LiquidMetal - it doesn't live up to the hype.

As are the rather serious limitations that LiquidMetal's alloys don't have.

And those limitations would be?
