This one is made with miling machine, the apogee and such are ponsed from a plate that's why there bases are that thin.
If that's what you think then your the one that's wrong. I'm not certain on the form of copper (bar stock/cast/forged) used for the newer GT/GTX blocks so I can't speak about them but the pin matrix can be machined on a CNC mill without a problem, and I know for a fact that it was machined into the Apogee Extreme. The Fuzion could also be machined from bar stock but it would be more expensive as well because the small end mills it would take to mill it would probably break somewhat often and they certainly aren't cheap. It seems most companies are getting away from bar stock in favor of forging, and with good reason. A forged copper block can be made much thinner and have much better transfer rate that bar stock due to the molecules being forced together under enormous pressure.
