Exhibition Report of the 'Next Generation 3D Printer Exhibition' from June 21 (Wednesday) to June 23 (Friday), 2023

There is not much difference between 3D printers for casting and traditional casting methods using basic wooden patterns. Would you like to take the first step in utilizing this together with our company?

A 3D printer for casting is a modeling method that imports 3D data created using CAD and directly shapes sand molds (such as cores and main molds). It is often referred to as a mold 3D printer or core molding machine, and it can shorten the lead time for producing wooden or resin molds needed for complex shapes, as well as for sand preparation and mold assembly before casting. Rather than relying solely on 3D printers, we recommend a hybrid operation that leverages the advantages of existing methods, the benefits of 3D printing, and your company's strengths and weaknesses. **Features of Utilizing 3D Data and 3D Printers:** - It is possible to create casting 3D data by 3D scanning the product shape even without wooden molds. - For complex-shaped cores, many wooden molds are unnecessary, leading to reduced manufacturing lead times, lower management and storage costs, and shortened assembly time and labor for cores. - Since 3D data is output, there is less variation, and the imbalance in cast products is also reduced. - 3D data can be used not only for modeling but also for verifying products against drawings. - 3D data can also be utilized for casting simulations and other applications. Why not try using a 3D printer this year? We will support you from data creation onwards.

This is a resin that re-evaluates the cost of specialized materials, which is a challenge for 3D printers, and is aimed at discerning users who are not satisfied with the quality and finish of simple 3D printers.

In recent years, with the spread of 3D printers, the available materials have been advancing in functionality. As a result, the role of 3D printers in the manufacturing industry is becoming increasingly important. However, along with the advancement in functionality, the prices of 3D printer materials have been rising. On the other hand, many development sites in the manufacturing industry are also being pressured to reduce development costs, leading to a growing need for lower material costs for 3D printers. ◆ Features of TSR-852 ◆ - Minimal warping and deformation, good printability - Good reproducibility, dimensional accuracy, and sliding properties - Good post-processing characteristics such as support removal, washability, polishability, and paintability - Low moisture absorption and expansion of models after printing ◆ Applications of TSR-852 ◆ - Parts requiring impact strength - Prototyping parts made of polypropylene or HDPE (high-density polyethylene) - Parts requiring low-friction surfaces - Parts that possess both rigidity and flexibility - Prototypes requiring functionality or fit, such as snap-fit parts and hinges - Responding to the need for cost optimization to improve price competitiveness and align with prototyping development budgets

Low-cost, high-precision photopolymer resin "TSR-851"

We have started selling the resin 'TSR-851', which enables high-precision and high-detail modeling at half the price of conventional light-curing resin. In recent years, with the spread of 3D printers, the available materials have become more advanced. As a result, the role of 3D printers in the manufacturing industry is becoming increasingly important. However, alongside this advancement, the prices of recent 3D printer materials have also risen significantly. On the other hand, many development sites in the manufacturing industry are being pressured to reduce development costs, leading to a clear need for lower material costs for 3D printers. Our new product, TSR-851, not only boasts excellent physical properties and quality but also realizes high precision and high detail that fully utilizes the performance of SLA, with a development theme of "providing it to the market at a lower price than any of our other materials!" We focused on achieving low cost in its development.

Casting × 3D Printer "Mold" and "Core" 'SCM Series' capable of supporting everything from prototype development to mass production! Supported by equipment, materials, and software.

The "SCM Series" is a 3D printer for casting that produces "casting molds" and "cores" using sand molds. It utilizes a 3D printer for casting that employs an inkjet method with "dry artificial sand." By discharging resin into dry artificial sand (produced by GunEi Chemical Industry) and curing it, it enables the high-precision production of complex-shaped cores and molds. - The production time for casting prototypes can be significantly reduced. Since model production is unnecessary, the time required for prototype production, which previously took about a month, can be greatly shortened. - It is possible to reduce model production costs. Direct sand mold production from 3D (CAD/scanner) data eliminates the need for model production and storage space for wooden molds. If shape changes are necessary, production can be done immediately after data modification. - The simultaneous production of various similar items with different shapes and dimensions reduces lead time in the prototyping stage. It is possible to simultaneously produce items with different shapes that require verification of shapes and dimensions, such as aggressive method models. 【Features】 ■ Total support for equipment, materials, and software ■ Sales track record to casting manufacturers and casting prototype manufacturers ■ Development achievements for high-value-added products from aluminum to stainless steel ■ Reduction of troublesome sand removal work due to dry materials ■ Reuse of uncured sand (recovered sand) is possible ■ Material development tailored to user needs
