As an engineering designer used to designing for small production runs (but much smaller than Leica) I doubt a stylist has been used. The SL looks to me something which has entirely been designed to be inexpensively NC machined from solid since the projected production volume almost certainly would not have been able to fund the tooling for diecasting.

I'm almost certain I read that it's machined from a solid block of aluminum like the T is.
