The "TR Method" is a technique that is frequently used not only for the production of prototypes but also for mass-produced items with a low lifetime lot size. Especially in cases where the quantity is fixed, such as producing only 100 or 1000 units, it is much more cost-effective and time-efficient to create a simple mold using this method rather than investing in expensive molds as initial costs. [Features] - Proven track record of producing 3,000 units with simple molds in the past - Ideal for test marketing of innovative products *Please feel free to contact us for more details.

The "TR Method Products" are prototypes molded using the same materials as mass-produced items, and the processing accuracy of the simple molds used for molding is almost equivalent to that of molded products. Therefore, prototypes made using this method can be provided with quality comparable to mass-produced molded items. 【Features】 ■ Can be produced using the same materials as mass-produced molded items ■ Can achieve mold accuracy equivalent to that of mass-produced molded items *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

We provide various rubber performance tests necessary to evaluate the performance of rubber prototypes manufactured using the "TR method." The implementation of the "rubber load test" and "rubber tensile test" is offered free of charge. For items that cannot be evaluated in-house, we utilize the Saitama Industrial Technology Center to provide testing and evaluation at a lower cost than before. [Types of Tests] ■ Rubber Load Test ■ Rubber Tensile Test ■ Utilization of Saitama Industrial Technology Center *For more details, please feel free to contact us.
