| Factory Advantage | Effectively processing Aluminum AlSi10Mg powder requires overcoming its high laser reflectivity and tendency for hydrogen porosity. The BLT S400's multi-laser system delivers the intense, stable energy density needed for a consistent melt pool, while its superior atmospheric control directly mitigates porosity, ensuring the metallurgical integrity demanded for structural cobot components. At MechanoFab, we've calibrated our build strategies around the S400's exceptional thermal management, which is crucial for controlling the massive residual stresses inherent to this alloy before the part is even severed from the build plate. This allows us to print near-net-shape arms that hold critical bearing bore tolerances of +0.01/-0.00mm as-built, eliminating the need for complex secondary CNC setups and the risk of tolerance stack-up. |
