| Equipment Specs | Build Envelope: 1400 x 700 x 500 mm (55.1 x 27.6 x 19.7 in); Laser Type: Solid State Nd:YVO₄ @ 355nm; Laser Power: ~800mW; Beam Diameter: 0.10mm - 0.60mm (variable spot); Max Scan Speed: 12 m/s; Typical Layer Thickness: 0.05 mm - 0.20 mm; Recoater System: Closed-loop, vacuum-adsorbed granite blade. |
| Min Feature Size | Min Wall Thickness: 1.5mm (as low as 0.8mm is possible for non-structural features with specific alloys and gating design). |
| Precision Grade | Typical accuracy of ±0.1mm for dimensions under 100mm, plus ±0.1% of feature length for dimensions over 100mm. High-resolution mode can achieve finer detail but does not significantly improve global dimensional accuracy over the large platform. |

| Factory Advantage | Tackling well-to-well temperature uniformity in PCR thermal blocks often involves high-risk secondary machining. Our approach shifts the precision upstream to the investment casting pattern itself. By leveraging the UnionTech RSPro 1400's monolithic build volume and granite-stabilized frame, we produce large, single-piece master patterns with exceptional planarity. This method allows for the integration of ideal fillet radii directly into the design, mitigating the hot tear risks inherent to casting 17-4PH steel. The resulting near-net-shape castings exhibit superior dimensional accuracy straight from the foundry. This MechanoFab strategy significantly reduces the need for difficult post-machining of the thin-walled structures, ensuring consistent thermal performance that meets stringent ISO 13485 and IVD requirements while avoiding the scrap rates that plague conventional multi-step manufacturing. |
