We offer contract molding with various materials using FDM 3D printers.

In the production of three-dimensional products using PEEK (polyether ether ketone), injection molding is mainstream for large lots, while machining is the norm for small lots. For three-dimensional products made of PEEK, we have started contract processing using FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printers with PEEK filaments produced by our company. This significantly reduces waste and allows for cost reduction. Additionally, with 3D printing, it is possible to create hollow or honeycomb structures internally, enabling material cost reduction and weight savings compared to machining, which can only produce solid forms. 【Features】 ■ Weight reduction: It is possible to achieve weight savings by creating hollow or honeycomb structures! ■ Cost-effectiveness: There is no material waste from machining, making it economically advantageous! ■ Precision: Production is possible at the intermediate level of JISB0405! (Consultation required) ■ Advancement: Due to the FDM method, it is possible to create shapes that cannot be accommodated by machining! *Please inquire as there may be limitations based on the shape. *If we are unable to produce after receiving an order, we will not charge for the costs incurred. For more details, please download the catalog or contact us directly.

HP Filament (Aroma Type) is a filament for FDM 3D printers. Generally, fragrances tend to be volatile, making it difficult to achieve long-lasting effects. This product maintains its effectiveness by gradually releasing the fragrance from within to the surface. Additionally, after being shaped by a 3D printer, it forms an extremely thin film on the surface, preventing stickiness. Any household or commercial products that aim to sustain fragrance can now be manufactured using a 3D printer. *For inquiries about creating original scents, please contact us separately.

nTopology is software that integrates with existing CAD/CAM systems to realize engineering flows that include topology optimization and more. In recent years, with the advancement of 3D printing, there has been a demand for designs that leverage the high degree of freedom in manufacturing characteristics compared to traditional processing methods, known as DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing). This product allows for the incorporation of functional shapes derived from existing CAD systems and enables output to various formats using parameters defined by tools such as Excel. [Features (partial)] ■Topology Optimization ■Generative Design ■Architected Materials ■Simulation ■Digital Shibori, Ribs *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

When creating products designed with 3DCAD, I believe that prototypes are first made to verify functionality and design, but the production of prototypes requires time and cost. As a solution to these issues, I recommend utilizing 3D printers. 3D printers can create intricate prototypes with precise dimensions as per the design. Some can be produced in just a few hours, and costs can be reduced depending on the filament used. *For more details on the column, you can view it through the related links.

The materials used for 3D printers are sensitive to moisture. In particular, 3D printer filaments have a tendency to absorb moisture, and if they are exposed to humidity for an extended period, their quality and performance can deteriorate, so caution is necessary. Absorbing moisture can affect the accuracy of the prints, and defects may appear in the printed objects. There are not a few cases where the materials degrade to the point that they cannot be printed during storage. *For more details on the column, please refer to the related link.

Utilizing 3D printers in companies offers many advantages. It leads to cost reductions associated with testing and modifications using extrusion molds created during the prototyping stage. Additionally, when we receive orders for mass-produced items, we also propose simple inspection jigs to standardize the inspection levels between both companies. With data created in 3D CAD and a 3D printer, prototypes can be made immediately, significantly shortening the development period. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.
