"Light molding" is a technology for shaping actual models of thermoplastic resins using silicone rubber molds. Production materials for mass molding are made into fine particles, filled into the silicone mold, and while being vacuum compressed, are heated and melted by near-infrared light irradiated from the outside, passing through the silicone rubber mold, to form the fine particle materials placed inside the mold. Prototypes using mass production molding materials can be created without molds during the development and design phase, and small lot production can also be achieved through light molding for small production items. This eliminates the need for expensive molds, resulting in significant cost reduction and shortened timeframes. **Features** - Actual models of thermoplastic resins are shaped using silicone rubber molds, eliminating the need for molds. - Actual models with the same performance as real products can be manufactured quickly and inexpensively through injection molding. - Allows molding with the desired grade of thermoplastic resin. - Supports small lot production of various types. Suitable for variable variations and frequent deliveries. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

A case study on the development of a respirator mask that pursues "ease of breathing." Due to the spread of COVID-19, there was a shortage of essential N95 masks in medical settings, with no clear outlook for stable supply. We undertook the development of over 20 prototypes of the respirator mask in just a month and a half. To comply with the high standards of "N95," the product features a high-performance filter positioned optimally on the face, designed for easier and more secure attachment and detachment. Additionally, to minimize discomfort during use, it was designed to be lightweight and compact. Furthermore, to accommodate the varying sizes of individual faces, rubber components were used in the areas that touch the face, ensuring no air leakage and proposing a design that minimizes pain and discomfort even during prolonged use. To facilitate a smooth transition to mold production, we collaborated with molding manufacturers from the design stage to propose designs aimed at mass production, striving to shorten the time to commercialization. Although the components required a combination of different materials and had a complex shape, we produced the rubber parts using light curing and vacuum casting technology, completing a single prototype in about two days.

Small Lot Production of Vacuum Casting Traditionally, vacuum casting has primarily been used in the prototyping phase, but with the spread of 3D printers, the advantages of casting prototypes have been reevaluated. Vacuum casting, which matches the era of diverse and small quantities, has also established its position as a material for consideration in small lot mass production. Until now, vacuum casting has attracted attention as an alternative technology to injection molding, which has faced many challenges, such as the significant burden of mold costs in small-scale production.

Realizing hollow structure prototypes with a 3D printer By using a 3D printer, it is possible to achieve an overwhelming reduction in time compared to complex shapes produced by machining, and it allows for the creation of intricate shapes such as undercuts and hollow forms that are impossible with machining. Among these, the stereolithography machine (3D printer) we own can create highly detailed and smooth surface models. Additionally, it is possible to use the items produced by stereolithography as master models to create vacuum-cast rubber molds (silicone molds) for replication. In vacuum casting, a vacuum state is created within a vacuum chamber, allowing resin to flow into the mold, ensuring that the resin reaches every corner of the mold and minimizing the formation of air bubbles. This method enables the production of high-precision resin products in a very short lead time and at a low cost.

The use of vacuum casting is no longer limited to "prototyping." Traditionally, vacuum casting has been primarily used during the prototyping phase, but it is now being utilized for small-scale production and market introduction as a method that matches the era of diverse small lots. In the case of injection molding, the lead time for mold production takes about 3 to 4 months, which cannot be avoided in terms of its impact on the overall development lead time. Additionally, for sites that utilize molds, responding to diversification is challenging, as molds must be prepared for each variety. Furthermore, there are many challenges such as securing storage space for molds and the complexities of maintenance. However, with vacuum casting, it is possible to produce small quantities without creating molds, which helps reduce mold investment costs and allows for market introduction in a short period.

【No need for undercuts or draft angles during design.】 Typically, in injection molding, it was necessary to reflect draft angles and undercuts in the drawings and 3D data for the mold. However, with vacuum casting using silicone rubber molds, traditional mold design becomes unnecessary, resulting in reduced design time. 【Running changes that cannot be achieved through mold modifications due to multiple design changes are possible.】 Making design changes or modifications to a mold after starting the project incurs significant costs and time. However, with vacuum casting, using inexpensive disposable silicone molds allows for design changes every 20 to 30 pieces. Repeated running changes greatly enhance the quality of the product. 【Reducing the burden of producing replacement parts.】 It is possible to supply customers with the parts they need when they need them. Parts can be obtained in a short period, and alternative parts can be prepared immediately in case of damage. Compared to traditional methods, manufacturing costs can be significantly reduced, making it suitable for modifications. Additionally, it helps solve the storage issues of molds that have been a challenge until now.

Quality: High quality equivalent to injection molding Material: Thermosetting resin Using two-component thermosetting urethane and epoxy, there is a rich variety of resins. The design surface has a finish comparable to molded products, and insert molding and two-color molding of different materials are possible. Since the mold is made of silicone, the precision is inferior compared to machining and metal molds. Cost: Cost reduction without molds By manufacturing using silicone molds without creating metal molds, initial costs can be significantly reduced. The molding cycle is longer, resulting in higher product costs compared to injection molding. Production period: As short as the next day after data preparation Delivery is possible as soon as the next day after data input. Typically, a few pieces can be confirmed in about a week.
