Currently, customers who are purchasing based on standards and doing in-house processing may have concerns about whether they can continue to manage in-house due to the aging workforce and the burden on machinery. Given this situation, why not try using our company as a test? First, we can start with rough machining, then move on to general hole processing, and finally shift to full processing step by step! We are capable of producing over 300 units per month, enabling cost reductions through automation with the latest equipment! "We're grateful for the fast full processing!" "I feel secure sending work to Sakamoto even when there are no deadlines!" "It has become easier to take on short lead-time jobs!" These are some of the comments we've received. For mold bases, trust Sakamoto.

• Mold Design

Currently, CAD/CAM manufacturers have completed the development of 2D and are now focusing solely on 3D development, which is improving usability and productivity year by year. Our company believes that one of the core technologies for mold manufacturers is design, and we consider the utilization of 3D CAD to be a key issue for improving productivity in this area. Therefore, we have been working on 3D initiatives from an early stage. By establishing a system that automatically assigns processing attributes from 3D intermediate files (such as Parasolid), the productivity of creating processing programs directly from 3D data without going through 2D data has significantly improved. Additionally, by creating processing programs directly, programming errors have also decreased. **Benefits of 3D CAD Design for Mold Manufacturers** - Reduction in design time (database creation) - Shortening of training periods for CAD/CAM personnel - Ability to meet short delivery times - Decrease in design errors We would like mold manufacturers who are considering full 3D implementation or those who only support 2D data to hear our proposals for 3D data compatibility. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Sakamoto considers the stable supply of "fully processed mold bases" from mold base manufacturers to be an important issue, especially in terms of short delivery times, and is actively working on it. As a challenge towards automating finishing processes, we have introduced the Makino vertical machining center V56i and an automatic transport system. This will establish a production system capable of further short delivery times by increasing nighttime operating rates. We also accommodate fully processed orders based solely on 3D data! For customers considering fully processed mold bases, please feel free to contact us via email or phone. Our sales representative for your area will reach out to you promptly to provide explanations or arrange an online meeting. *For more details, please refer to the related links page or feel free to contact us.

Since 2012, our company has started importing and selling "mold bases made in China." In order to avoid hindering mold manufacturers competing with China, we have established a system to import and provide Chinese-made mold bases. By coexisting with Chinese mold base manufacturers that have overwhelming production capacity, we can ensure a stable supply of all processed mold bases within Japan. Additionally, in the unlikely event that a complaint arises, we will make corrections at our own factory, so you can place orders with peace of mind. [Reasons for the decision to import mold bases from China] - Maintaining the competitiveness of large mold manufacturers - The disappearance of appropriately sized steel materials - Decrease in production capacity of mold base manufacturers - From competition to coexistence *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In 1982, we established the Fujisawa factory for the purpose of manufacturing large mold bases for large home appliances and automobiles. In CADCAM, we introduced 3D CAM to improve the machining accuracy of direct-cut large mold bases. As a result, rough machining with a 0.5mm allowance for product shape has become possible, enhancing the machining accuracy of direct-cut large mold bases. Additionally, we perform rough machining in a plate state and eliminate machining distortion through polishing before carrying out precision machining for components such as guide pins. 【Features】 ■ Rough machining with a 0.5mm allowance for product shape is possible ■ Machining distortion in mold manufacturing is significantly reduced ■ Pitch accuracy of guide pins can be maintained ■ Cost reduction and shorter delivery times are achievable, along with improved quality ■ Particularly effective for nested large mold bases *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "Standard Mold Base" has been supplied by Futaba Electric Industry Co., Ltd. since 1996 and is being sold. Before 1996, we manufactured standard mold bases in-house, but in order to respond to delivery times for standard mold bases and the increase in orders for custom mold bases, we decided to basically cease production of standard mold bases and focus on the production of custom mold bases. We also accommodate additional processing from Futaba Mold Bases. By establishing a division of labor where standard mold bases are handled by "Futaba" and additional processing by "Sakamoto," we have achieved a reduction in delivery times. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

In order to expand the production volume of all processed mold bases, our company withdrew from the in-house production of standard mold bases in 1999 (continuing sales as an agent), and in 2007, we also withdrew from standard mold plates, outsourcing the processing of six-sided plates to external plate manufacturers. As a result, the automatic warehouses for plate inventory (one at the Fussa office and one at the Fukushima office) have become idle facilities. Therefore, we have decided to utilize these automatic warehouses and offer them at a low cost as "Mold Storage Boxes" starting in 2014 to mold manufacturers and molding manufacturers who are struggling with storage space for molds. Please feel free to consult with us. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
