The Framework Laptop 16 is extremely rigid and durable, while also being surprisingly light and thin through use of a combination of magnesium alloy and machined aluminum parts for the enclosure.
Next part of the deep dive series has been released.
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.

Agreed, that was definitely the most interesting part of the article for me.
