3D printers are classified into various types based on their manufacturing methods and materials used! It is very important to understand the characteristics of each.

Even though we refer to them as 3D printers, they are actually categorized into various types based on their manufacturing methods and the materials used. It is very important to understand the characteristics of each type in order to select the appropriate 3D printer based on the intended use and the shape of the product being created. This document outlines the lineup of 3D printers handled by Yashima Proceed, including their build areas, compatible materials, features, and application examples. We encourage you to read it.

Achieving 3D printing with PPS material, which excels in strength, heat resistance, and dimensional stability! It is particularly suitable for hollow structure fabrication.

Our 3D printing 'PBF' uses TreMill PPS, a PPS resin microparticle with suitable fluidity and polymer characteristics for the powder bed fusion method, thanks to Toray Industries' unique polymer design technology. It is also possible to select heat-resistant and strength-enhanced materials, such as those containing carbon fiber or glass fiber. The parts to be formed are melted and sintered by a laser, while the unsintered powder material serves as a support material, making it particularly suitable for hollow structure fabrication. 【Features】 ■ The powder serves as a support material, allowing for hollow structures and complex shapes. ■ Multiple products with different shapes can be fabricated simultaneously. ■ Finishing processes are possible (painting, dyeing, machining). ■ TreMill PPS, suitable for fabrication, is used based on Toray Industries' polymer design. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The reality that can only be expressed in full color! It conveys your product image more vividly.

Our 3D printing service, "Inkjet," delivers full-color gypsum models with millions of color combinations, allowing us to convey your product image more vividly. Since gypsum powder serves as a support material, we can accurately create hollow structures and complex shapes. Even aerial models of single-family homes can be realized with detailed textures of each room's interior, enabling you to present a model that closely resembles the actual product, which helps convey your vision more accurately and facilitates smoother business negotiations. 【Features】 ■ Full-color gypsum models can convey product images more vividly. ■ Hollow structures and complex shapes can be realized with precision. ■ Detailed textures of each room's interior can be accurately represented. ■ Business negotiations can proceed smoothly. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The ultimate reality model made possible by full color! Achieving realistic models with textures and simultaneous soft and hard material shaping.

Our 3D printing 'PolyJet' offers color variations with over 360,000 colors, enabling the reproduction of texture mapping. We consolidate the two processes of prototyping and painting into one, reducing lead time. Simultaneous molding of rubber-like and rigid materials is possible, and post-processing polishing is available as an option. 【Features】 ■ Consolidation of the two processes of prototyping and painting into one to reduce lead time ■ Simultaneous molding of rubber-like and rigid materials ■ Ability to reproduce texture mapping ■ Post-processing polishing option available ■ Layer pitch of 14–16μm / 27–30μm *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

About ROAD: The "Roundtable on the Purpose of Autonomous Driving (ROAD)" conference series has evolved into a unique platform for interdis-ciplinary dialogue and international collaboration in the field of autonomous driving and autonomous mobility. Established in 2016, ROAD has brought together researchers, industry leaders, and public sector stakeholders from six countries across three continents. Based on this background, the upcoming ROAD 2026 will focus on "safety” and "driving AI”—the final pieces of the autonomous driving puzzle—to advance discussions on establishing the foundational framework for ensuring safety quality and obtaining regular-tory approval for autonomous driving. We also intend to discuss the international commonalities and differences regarding the social value brought about by ADS vehicles in terms of automation, intelligent driving, and mobility. We have established a total of five compelling themes for the Round Workshops, consisting of two topics related to “The Last Piece” and three topics related to the social value of ADS, as shown below. 1) Round Workshop 1 - Horizons of E2E Driving AI → Can AI Understand the Driving Environment Like Humans? 2) Round Workshop 2 - Beyond the Unknown: Safety Cases for ADS → Can Safety Ever Be Proven? 3) Round Workshop 3 - Envisioning Smart City Mobility → Can Smart City Mobility Bridge the Mobility Divide? 4) Round Workshop 4 - Logistics Enhancement Through Autonomous Tracking → Will Logistics Become Human-Free? 5) Round Workshop 5 - The Evolution of CASE: SDV/AIDV → Will Automakers Become AI Companies? We hope you’ll all join us!

[Speaker] Masashi Sugita, President and CEO of LEX Style Co., Ltd.

[Instructor] Yuichiro Kabushiki, Partner Lawyer at TMI Comprehensive Law Office [Key Lecture Content] With the spread of AI, there is growing attention on the civil liability of developers, providers, and users of AI. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will publish "Guidelines on the Interpretation and Application of Civil Liability in AI Utilization" in April 2026, and the Ministry of Justice will also establish an expert meeting to examine civil liability related to unauthorized use of images and voices generated by AI in the same month. As the full enforcement of the AI Promotion Act and the revision of AI guidelines are underway, it is necessary to design and operate governance based on the potential responsibilities that may arise retrospectively. In this seminar, based on the guidelines from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and drawing on litigation practice experience as a judge and lawyer, we will organize the basic framework for assessing civil liability and explain fundamental methods for designing and operating governance based on risk analysis. Furthermore, we will examine the framework for civil liability and the design and operation of governance using hypothetical cases that are likely to pose practical issues.

In this seminar, we will welcome Mr. Satoru Hayami from Waseda University, who will explain the latest trends in AI utilization in manufacturing, as well as the evolution of technologies such as agent-based AI and physical AI, and the opportunities and key points for practical application in the manufacturing industry. Furthermore, Mr. Tsubasa Shibata, representative of Next Opt, will introduce processes aimed at practical implementation, incorporating actual case studies from manufacturing sites. We hope you will envision the "potential for AI utilization in your company" and take home hints that will lead to improvements in your operations starting tomorrow. We look forward to your participation.
