When Precision becomes visible

Housing for Award-Winning Measurement Technology

For the second generation of NanoTemper Technologies' Monolith binding analyzer, 1zu1scale produced two large-format, high-gloss vacuum-cast housing elements. The result is a functional, light- and airtight premium housing that combines state-of-the-art measurement technology with sophisticated industrial design.

There is no room for compromise, especially when it comes to large-format high-gloss visible parts. Surface quality, fit accuracy, and paintwork must be perfect—that is our strength and exactly what makes this project stand out.

High-quality Housing for precision Optical Measurement

The two vacuum-cast housing elements form the outer shell of the Monolith binding analyzer, which is used worldwide in basic medical research. They protect the sensitive measurement technology, provide optical shielding, and contribute significantly to the high-quality appearance of the device. Different finishes—black, high-gloss metallic, and EMC-coated interior surfaces—combine design, function, and electromagnetic shielding in a single component concept.

A Result that is impressive

In collaboration with NanoTemper Technologies, 1zu1scale has developed a high-quality housing for the second generation of the Monolith binding analyzer. Vacuum casting enables cost-effective series production while delivering excellent surface quality, high precision fitting, and sophisticated design—a perfect symbiosis of function, aesthetics, and manufacturing expertise.

From the outset, it was clear to us that the new monolith housing not only had to function technically, but also had to reflect our high quality standards in terms of appearance and feel. In 1zu1scale, we found a partner that perfectly combined manufacturing, design, and honesty.

Questions & Answers

It protects the optical measurement technology, ensures light and air tightness, and contributes significantly to the high-quality appearance of the device.

Vacuum casting offers high precision and excellent surfaces at significantly lower costs than injection molding – ideal for limited quantities.

The combination of large component volume, high-gloss surfaces, multiple layers of paint, and high precision fitting.

SLS and high-precision STL prototypes served as the basis for the silicone molds used in vacuum casting.

Through close coordination, defined tolerances, detailed work instructions, and manual quality controls.

In addition to manufacturing, we also offer finishing, painting, EMC coating, and pad printing of logos, type plates, and warning labels.
