★A groundbreaking metal forming method that achieves precision casting without the need for molds★ "Gypsum casting" can achieve casting quality and precision levels equivalent to mass-produced metal forming "precision die casting," making it optimal for prototypes, single items, and small lot production. It is ideal for die casting prototypes of automotive parts, allowing for simultaneous prototyping of assembly, strength, and thermal properties in a single trial. For limited-lot cast products, it provides overwhelming cost performance for shortening development lead times and facilitating a smooth transition to mass production of die casting. 《Main compatible materials: Aluminum, Zinc, Magnesium》 【Now!

If the demand for a part has decreased and the mold has already been disposed of, replication can be achieved through gypsum casting if there are parts or part data available. There is no need for expensive initial mold costs, and production can be done at low cost and with a short lead time. Please contact us for more details.

In mold model gypsum casting, we also support casting using ingots for die casting, allowing for prototypes that are equivalent to those produced in mass production, enabling simultaneous evaluation of functionality and appearance. Additionally, unlike molds, we can perform modifications on the molds, making it easy to accommodate design changes and improvements during development prototyping. For more details, please contact us.

The "processing examples" of gypsum casting introduce some cases that illustrate the strengths of gypsum casting. Shapes that cannot be formed with molds (die casting) can be formed with gypsum molds. It accommodates production quantities that are extremely low, such as electronic microscopes, medical devices, and custom products. Gypsum casting allows for complex and irregular shapes, making it suitable for the integration of existing parts and reducing the number of components. The heat sink is an example of duplicating a die-cast product that has already ceased production using molds and masters. It can also be utilized as a substitute for irregular orders after the molds have been disposed of. The valve body is an example of complex and irregular shape formation that is possible only with gypsum casting, featuring intricately intertwined oil passages. The machine arm is a lightweight and strong aluminum part formed as a single piece with a hollow interior. In the two-wheeler transmission, gypsum casting achieves a surface roughness that can accommodate cam surfaces as cast. For more details, please contact us.

The "mold-free gypsum casting prototype" allows for casting with a quality precision level equivalent to mass-produced metal forming 'precision die casting', making it optimal for prototypes, single items, and small lot production. It offers high freedom in shape and excellent surface finish, while also being cost-effective due to the absence of molds. Additionally, it provides significant advantages in production speed. It achieves overwhelming cost performance for small-lot cast products, short development lead times, and smooth transitions to mass production of die casting prototypes.

Material for Machine Processing Designers: "Various Properties of Gypsum Castings" Giveaway! A clear explanation of the mechanical and physical properties of gypsum castings, including comparisons with die-cast products! ■□■ Features of Gypsum Casting Method ■□■ ■ Prototyping in shapes close to mass production (mass production approximation) is possible, allowing for necessary reality verification and strength testing. - Since it is possible to create products that are faithful to the mass production shape (die-cast drawings), there has been an increasing adoption of these as approximations to die-cast mass production products. Additionally, material selection is conducted according to the purpose of prototyping (strength components, heat dissipation, etc.). ■ Limited production of necessary quantities - Supports parts supply for special models like small-batch, diverse products. - Can supply only the necessary quantities in a short lead time when needed, eliminating the need for mold investment. ■ Supports cases where production quantities cannot be anticipated (not worth making a mold) and where molds are no longer available. ■ If you would like the materials, please download the catalog or contact us.

Materials for Mechanical Processing Designers: "Manufacturing Process of Gypsum Casting" Giveaway! The gypsum casting method is a precision casting technique that does not use molds and employs gypsum as the casting material. It is suitable for small lots of aluminum, magnesium, and zinc products. ■□■ Features of Gypsum Casting Method ■□■ ■ Prototyping can be done in shapes close to mass production (mass production approximation), allowing for necessary reality verification and strength testing. - Since it can produce items faithful to mass production shapes (die-cast diagrams), it has recently seen increased adoption as a near-mass production alternative for die casting. Additionally, materials are selected according to the purpose of the prototype (strength components, heat dissipation, etc.). ■ Limited production based on required quantities - It can also supply parts for special models like low-volume, high-variety products. - It can supply only the necessary quantities in a short lead time when needed, eliminating the need for mold investment. ■ It can accommodate situations where production quantities are uncertain (not enough to warrant creating a mold) or where molds no longer exist. ■ For those who wish to receive an easy-to-understand "Manufacturing Process of Gypsum Casting" with photos, please download the catalog or contact us.
