• Processing Contract

Shortest half-day estimate / Manufacturing of parts without drawings (reverse engineering) / We handle everything from scanning the actual item to processing based on drawings.

Do you have any of the following concerns regarding parts procurement? 1. The parts have been discontinued, and there are no suppliers available. 2. I can no longer rely on the manufacturing company I had requested. 3. The parts are damaged or worn and need replacement, but they are old parts and there are no drawings available. 4. There are no drawings, and I want to create the same item from the actual part. → Our company, which has three quality control centers in Japan, can take your actual part and handle everything from drawing creation to processing and inspection in one go. We perform scan modeling using non-contact 3D scanner-type three-dimensional measuring machines and image dimension measuring devices to reproduce the drawings. Additionally, we can handle quantities starting from single-item processing! We streamline your procurement process with a single point of contact for surface treatment, hardening, polishing, and more. Furthermore, our company also accepts measurements and evaluations of dimensions, geometric tolerances, three-dimensional measurements, curved surfaces, roundness, surface roughness, etc. We can handle everything from metals to plastics! Trust us with the cutting processing of prototype and development parts. For more details, please contact us or download our catalog.

• Contract measurement

Shortest half-day estimate / Introduction of new inspection equipment! VL500 / Keyence supports high-precision measurements with 360-degree all-around scanning.

Are you having trouble measuring geometric tolerances, curved surfaces, and complex shapes that are difficult with calipers and three-dimensional measuring machines? Our company offers measurement services for areas where calipers and three-dimensional measuring machines struggle, tailored to various measurement needs, including geometric tolerances, virtual lines, and curved surfaces. We would like to introduce the 3D scanner-type three-dimensional measuring machine we use for this purpose. ◎ VL-500 / Keyence "Features" - Measures large objects as connected data without the need for markers. - Acquires 3D data with 360-degree scanning, leaving no blind spots. - Capable of measuring shapes that could not be captured with a measurement resolution of 16 million points. - Compares good and defective products to measure and visualize shape differences. - Outputs measurement result data by comparing point cloud, mesh data, and CAD. - Reverse engineering (creating drawings of parts). In our measurement service business, we take custody of inspection items, and our inspection technicians conduct thorough inspections of all areas. We possess a wide range of the latest digital measuring equipment, including CNC three-dimensional measuring machines and image dimension measuring devices. We can handle everything from metal to resin! Leave the machining of prototype and development parts to us.

• 3D measuring device

The shortest estimate is half a day / SPCC (thin plate) was laser cut and then subjected to press bending processing. It is a protective cover for the exterior of the device, made from processed thin plate metal parts.

We handle leather cutting, bending processing, and baked-on painting all in one place. Our company also accepts sheet metal processing such as laser processing and welding. Our partner company uses an Amada punch-laser combination machine, which allows us to accommodate outer shape processing for SPC materials up to 9mm thick and SUS materials up to 6mm thick. *Please note that there may be cases where processing cannot be performed depending on the inquiry. We can also handle bending processing with a bending machine. We accept various types of painting and surface treatment after processing as well. In particular, please trust us with small quantities of various types, prototype parts, industrial robot parts, development parts, optical device parts, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment-related parts. For over 30 years, our company has provided processed parts to customers in various industries. We also offer quality assurance and have strengths in inspection technology. If you would like to see more of our achievements, please download the catalog below. Additionally, we can handle cutting processing for prototype and development parts, from metals to plastics! Our official website also features processing achievements for sheet metal products, so please take a look.

[Lecturers] Daisuke Tateno, Partner, Arthur D. Little Japan K.K. Akihiro Nagayama, Principal [Key Lecture Content] Drones, AI, software, satellites, and electronic warfare are fundamentally changing the way wars are fought, and the defense industry is currently transitioning from a heavy and traditional model to one centered around AI, software, data, and unmanned systems. In the United States, emerging companies like Palantir and Anduril, which are software-driven, are challenging existing defense firms. In Japan, structural changes are beginning with the Defense Capability Development Plan, the Defense Industry Base Strengthening Act, and the entry of startups. This seminar will discuss the changes in the global security environment and industrial structure, the strategies of advanced players both domestically and internationally, and the areas where Japanese companies can succeed, including dual-use, collaboration with software companies, M&A and alliances, and talent strategies. We will consider how to view change not as a threat but as a growth opportunity, and how to construct a new Japanese defense industry from a management perspective.

[Speaker] Kazuki Miyamoto, Representative/Analyst, VentureClef, USA [Key Lecture Content] The frontier model in the United States is evolving at an unexpected speed. AI agents based on the frontier model have completely transformed business forms in companies. Chinese companies are developing large-scale open source projects, and their performance is approaching that of the U.S. model. Meanwhile, U.S. companies have begun developing open source, leading to a direct confrontation between the U.S. and China. The seminar will examine the frontier models of both countries and explain the latest technologies and important trends. It will organize points on how Japanese companies should perceive the U.S.-China AI development competition from technological and business perspectives. It will also consider strategies for companies to succeed in the AI era, including the differentiation between the U.S. and Chinese models, as well as the advantages and challenges of open source versus closed source. [Lecture Items] <1> Frontier Model (USA) <2> Frontier Model (China) <3> Technology Trends and AI Strategies for Japanese Companies <4> Q&A
