プロテックジャパン List of Products and Services

Trial molds, simple molds, and small lot die casting refer to manufacturing methods suitable for producing prototypes and mass production in quantities of about 50 to 100 using die casting. Our company achieves short delivery times and low costs through our unique "MC Process." We carefully create a beautiful casting surface and finish small lots with the same precision as mass production processes. For example, a product that typically takes about 35 days and costs around 1 million yen to produce using standard die casting can be reduced to about two-thirds of the time and approximately half the cost using our unique process. Please feel free to contact us when you need our services. 【Reasons for Short Delivery Times】 - Direct processing through the transition from CAD to CAM - Smooth CAD conversion due to high casting technology and know-how - Smooth information exchange of CAD facilitates mutual understanding with customers - Although electrical discharge machining is commonly used in mold manufacturing, we eliminate electrode production and electrical discharge machining, processing everything directly with MC. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We offer low-cost production of prototypes and small lots for "gypsum casting" according to the required quality.

Protech Japan manufactures prototypes and sample products using vacuum casting. Vacuum casting is a method where a silicone mold created from a master model is placed in a near-vacuum state, and resin is poured into it to create the product. Since it does not use molds, it leads to shorter delivery times and cost reductions. 【Features】 ■ Suitable for prototypes, small lots, and diverse production ■ Lower cost compared to molds, with possible short delivery times ■ Can also be used for test molding before mold creation *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

"Light curing (3D printer)" is a resin processing method that involves storing a special liquid resin that hardens when exposed to ultraviolet light in a tank, and then using a UV laser to cure it layer by layer to create a molded object. This technology allows for the rapid production of resin three-dimensional objects that are almost identical to the original 3D data, with complete front and back detail and precision. Additionally, it supports powder-based layered manufacturing as well as liquid resin. [Features] - Capable of forming precise resin three-dimensional objects with complete front and back detail in a short time - Useful for pre-production checks and master models - Compatible with UV-curable resins and powder layered manufacturing *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

At Protech Japan, we handle both aluminum alloy extrusion using billets and resin molding using pellets. Furthermore, we can provide total manufacturing solutions, including machining and surface treatment after extrusion. We respond broadly to our customers' needs. We are open to consultations for both prototypes and mass production. Additionally, you can trust us with the molding of ultra-thin and ultra-thin-walled tubes. 【Features】 - Materials can be created in both aluminum alloys and resins - Machining and surface treatment after extrusion are also available - Support for both prototypes and mass production - Molding of ultra-thin and ultra-thin-walled tubes is possible *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

At Protech Japan, we handle "sheet metal processing," which includes cutting, bending, welding, and drilling of metal sheets, as well as "press processing," which involves shaping (plastic processing) by applying strong force with tools that sandwich metal materials. Utilizing equipment such as laser processing machines and NC benders, we can perform a total range of processing from various types to finishing. Additionally, we have installed a nitrogen generation system for clean cutting of stainless steel, making it possible to accommodate such needs. We respond to our customers' sheet metal and press processing needs with high quality and short delivery times. 【Features】 ■ Support for mass production as well as single prototypes ■ Capable of total production including subsequent surface treatments such as painting and plating ■ Quick delivery and low cost ■ Multi-forming and deep drawing are also possible *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We accept prototype and other processing services such as small lot die casting, gypsum casting, and machining. We can produce prototypes and samples using vacuum casting, as well as small lot production, machining after extrusion, and surface treatment, all in a comprehensive manner. Additionally, we have incorporated light curing technology early on and have received high praise from our customers. 【Services Offered (Partial)】 ■ Small lot die casting ■ Gypsum casting ■ Machining ■ Casting ■ Light curing (3D printing) *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

Among metal processing products, aluminum material is widely used in many industries due to its lightweight and excellent workability. However, in its raw form, it is susceptible to corrosion and wear, making surface protection necessary in many situations. In such cases, "anodizing" is often chosen. This article will carefully explain the basic mechanism of anodizing, its applications, features, and combinations with simple die casting, in a way that is easy for beginners to understand. *For detailed content of the article, please refer to the PDF document.

In the field of product development, it is essential to select suitable processing methods and materials while considering the balance of cost, performance, and delivery time. Among these, "die casting" is a processing method that allows for the precise and high-volume production of complex-shaped metal parts, and it is adopted by many industries. However, when we talk about "die casting materials," there are multiple options such as aluminum alloys and zinc alloys, each with different characteristics and suitability. In this article, based on the theme of "die casting materials," we will organize the features of representative metal materials and explain the points for differentiation based on their applications. We will present this information in an easy-to-understand manner so that sales representatives can confidently select materials and make customer proposals. *For detailed content of the article, please refer to the PDF document.

In the early stages of product development, "prototyping" to bring ideas to life is an essential process for manufacturing companies. However, when asked, "What is prototyping?" there may be surprisingly few sales representatives who can explain the specific content and processes involved. In recent years, as there is a demand for quick turnaround and low-cost prototypes, methods such as "simple die casting" and "simple molds" have gained attention. This article will present an easy-to-understand overview of prototyping, from the basics to the potential for product validation using simple die casting, from the perspective of sales representatives. *For detailed content of the article, please refer to the PDF document.
