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.

With the current processing methods and technologies, it is difficult to create complex shapes, integrated structures, lattice/honeycomb structures, porous structures, hollow structures, hybrid structures, and direct manufacturing from 3D data. Furthermore, through topology optimization and collaboration with generative design, we can achieve the creation of innovative aluminum parts that are not available from conventional or other companies, rapid development and prototyping of parts, dramatic reduction in the number of parts, ultra-lightweight and compact designs, cost reduction, and significant decreases in the number of processes and personnel involved. In this seminar, leading users such as J·3D, ODEC, and pioneers in white copper, who have achieved remarkable results in aluminum part manufacturing using metal 3D printers, will discuss key points and precautions for implementation and utilization, various manufacturing methods and technologies, rapid, low-cost, high-quality manufacturing techniques, uniquely developed next-generation AM technologies, groundbreaking case studies that significantly differentiate from other companies' parts, as well as factors for failure and secrets to success. Based on numerous research results and rich manufacturing achievements, we will provide a clear and concrete explanation for those considering implementation, beginners with interest, and those who have just started in the field. [Currently, half-price tuition] When applying, please write "Other [8,500 yen]" in the "Other" section above the application form on our website.

[Speaker] Kuniomi Mabuchi, Co-Founder and CEO of XinobiAI Inc. [Key Lecture Content] The evolution of generative AI is expanding from the digital space into the real world. How will "Physical AI," which recognizes, judges, and acts through robotics and autonomous driving, change industries, society, and our work? In this lecture, based on the book "The True Nature of Physical AI," we will clearly explain its fundamental concepts, the technologies supporting its evolution, trends among major global companies and countries, and areas of application such as manufacturing and logistics. Furthermore, we will explore the changing roles and responsibilities of humans and AI/machines, unravel Japan's strengths and challenges, and envision the changes in industry and society towards the 2030s, as well as the future brought about by Physical AI.
