Print surface used at Prusa Research for ABS printer parts?

Does anybody know what print surface is being used at Prusa to print the ABS printer components?

I like the nicely textured surface finish, e.g. on the front of the display housing.
Presumably, it also works better for ABS, as I'm having trouble getting ABS to stick, even with prints smaller than the LCD housing.

In the latest video showing the new Prusa factory ( ), it looks like a black, structured mat is being used.

Thanks for the links. The latest video from the factory clearly shows that there's a different bed surface.
I guess we'll wait for Prusa to announce. You'd think if they're using it in production, it would be ready for public release, but maybe it is a thick mat instead of a foil, requiring extra magic to make the induction sensor still work.
