    "factory_advantage": "Handling a hygroscopic and high-viscosity TPU like the specified Elastollan 1195A on FDM printers is notoriously difficult, often resulting in stringing and inconsistent layers. Our approach leverages the Bambu Lab A1 mini's specific strengths. Its lightweight direct-drive extruder provides the precise filament control necessary to manage this shear-sensitive material, mitigating the oozing common with Bowden setups. By coupling this with a rigorous, documented pre-drying protocol to prevent hydrolysis, we produce net-shape functional components like gaskets or impact bumpers. The A1 mini's automated calibration and vibration compensation ensure high repeatability across small batches, a critical factor for our clients' design verification under ISO 13485 guidelines. This MechanoFab process eliminates the extensive tuning required by competitors, delivering dimensionally accurate TPU parts at speeds 3-5x faster than conventional printers.",
