January 27 (Friday) 13:00 - [5-Axis and Multi-Processing Seminar & Factory Tour for Business Owners]

From design to manufacturing. How to transform "monozukuri" with seamless data integration.

The manufacturing industry in New Japan has not been able to achieve true "productivity improvement" for decades. Additionally, it has not been able to solve issues such as "early development of human resources" and "skill inheritance." We believe that if things continue this way, not only will we be unable to compete with the world, but we will also be left behind. Even with the introduction of 3D CAD and CAM, which should enable "productivity improvement," why is there no change? We would like to share our thoughts at Kodama on the problems faced by Japan's manufacturing industry and how we should confront these issues. For over 30 years, we at Kodama have been supporting our customers as a CAD/CAM vendor to help them achieve optimal factory management. We have also introduced 5-axis and multi-tasking machines and have been operating a prototype factory for 10 years. From this experience, we discuss how everyone can maximize the use of CAD/CAM to create a new manufacturing system that is profitable and free from rework.

Achieving a seamless process from design to construction drawing creation! Also compatible with large-scale assemblies.

In the construction industry, tools such as CAD and CG systems have become widespread to improve the efficiency of individual tasks. However, many companies have not implemented systems to comprehensively streamline the entire process from planning and design to the creation of construction drawings. The TopSolid series is a system developed to solve the problems faced in manufacturing and to comprehensively enhance the efficiency of the entire workflow. TopSolid’Design 7 is a BIM-compatible 3D design support system that allows designers to handle the entire process from planning and design to the creation of construction drawings without division of labor. Additionally, by unifying the entire workflow of a project into "one engineering database," collaborative tasks can be carried out seamlessly and efficiently. *We also offer a "CAD Seminar for the Construction, Equipment, and Plant Industry" for designers. For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

[Speaker] Yohei Kawada, Director of the Resource Circulation Promotion Office, Resource Circulation Division, Ministry of the Environment [Key Lecture Content] In Europe, a proposal for the ELV regulation has been made, which includes the mandatory minimum content of recycled plastics in automobiles. Building a recycled plastic market to support the stable production of our country's automobile industry is an urgent and important issue. Through initiatives for collaboration between industry and academia, the Ministry of the Environment has established a "Consortium for Building a Market for Recycled Materials for Automobiles" since last year, aimed at advancing the construction of a recycled plastic market. This lecture will introduce the initiatives of the consortium and the concept of a centralized hub for establishing a stable supply system for recycled plastics for automobiles. [Lecture Items] 1. Current status and "desired state" of recycled plastics for automobiles 2. Direction of discussions for the 2025 Industry-Academia-Government Consortium 3. Current situation analysis and BAU (Business As Usual) scenario 4. Towards the establishment of a supply system for recycled plastics for automobiles 5. Direction for appealing the value of recycled plastics for building the domestic market 6. Q&A / Business card exchange *The content of the lecture may change based on the latest trends.
