    "factory_advantage": "Effectively molding platinum-cured liquid silicone rubber hinges on controlling its extremely low pre-cure viscosity. Our strategy centers on the Fanuc Roboshot α-SiB 250T. Its all-electric design provides the micro-level clamp force adjustments and shot-to-shot repeatability needed to hold mold parting line tolerances below 0.005 mm, preventing flash. This allows MechanoFab to produce net-shape, flash-free medical components compliant with ISO 13485 directly from the mold. We eliminate the secondary cryogenic deflashing and manual trimming steps that competitors rely on, which often introduce contamination and dimensional instability. The machine's oil-free operation is also critical for manufacturing in a cleanroom environment, preventing the catalyst poisoning that compromises biocompatibility for sensitive medical imaging applications.",
