Rework·Coldplate Manifold
A vent loads up over a production length run
ReworkA413Leak4/5 confidence
What we learned
What worked
Cleaning the far corner vent between shots. Leak rate dropped from six percent to three percent on the next run.
What failed
Trusting a six part trial to predict a six hundred part run. Nothing that accumulates shows up in six shots.
War story
The trials all passed and the first production run leaked at four times the trial rate. Now any pressure tight part gets a trial batch at production length before it gets quoted.
