its says. ‘special aluminum pcb’, I want to know how that is done, i’m guessing in eagle it would be just a fill layer without any solder mask, but how do I tell batchPCB to make it ‘special aluminum’?
(but I guess one could argue that this special aluminum can also be called a metal core pcb… !!)

Greetings kaiki,
Short answer: you don’t. The batchPCB service is the
Ford Model ‘T’ of PCBs - you can have any colour as
long as it’s black - in other words you must comply
with the BatchPCB spec or be rejected.
Having said that, perhaps the good folks at SFE will
share with us how and where they sourced the PCB with
metallic heatsink?
Another option is to inquire at the commercial PCB
houses and see if this is something they can tackle
