Critical manufacturing & performance requirements for the frame are --
- Low weight
- High structural stiffness and low thermal expansion to maintain component alignment
- High thermal conductivity and high heat tolerance (Local temperatures as high as 250C.)
- Ability to achieve complex thin wall shape and precision features with typical post-machine tolerances of +/-0.1 mm.
Near-net shape forming to minimize machining operations and cost.
