    "factory_advantage": "The inherent low thermal conductivity of Ti-6Al-4V poses a significant challenge in SLM, often leading to catastrophic residual stress and part distortion. We leverage the exceptional process stability of the EOS M 290 to counteract this. Its advanced inert gas flow management and precise thermal control minimize oxidation and mitigate the risk of porosity and hot cracking. This stability is crucial for our mandatory stress-relief heat treatment, performed while the part is still on the build plate, a non-negotiable step at MechanoFab to guarantee dimensional accuracy. The result is the ability to produce complex, topologically optimized exoskeleton joints to near-net-shape in a single build. This directly eliminates the costly and time-intensive multi-axis machining that plagues traditional manufacturing, delivering components that meet stringent ISO 13485 requirements.",
