July 21 (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.

• 3D CAD

Next-generation large resin and metal 3D printers that achieve astonishing high-speed molding, low-cost, and high-precision molding are being rapidly introduced to the market. These printers are being utilized in the manufacturing of large parts and products in the aerospace, automotive, industrial machinery, plant, defense, and social infrastructure sectors, as well as in parts and mold repairs and reverse engineering. In this seminar, we will discuss the latest developments and features of cutting-edge machines from Stratasys, the largest manufacturer of large resin 3D printers, and Lobotics, along with domestic and international case studies. We will also explore innovative molding technologies from leading users such as Fujikohsai Industries and Sanko Gosei, who utilize large metal 3D printers from Meltio and Matsuura Machinery to create large metal parts, large metal products, and large mold components. The seminar will provide concrete and easy-to-understand explanations of key points and considerations for implementation and utilization, various manufacturing examples, and discussions on molding size, quality, cost, lead time, and success and failure stories. 3D printers enable the complex integrated molding of multiple parts into a single large shape, which was impossible with previous processing methods and technologies. This capability allows for a significant reduction in the number of parts, achieving short lead times, low costs, high-quality manufacturing, and a reduction in the number of processes and personnel involved.

[Speaker] Naomasa Shibuya, Department Manager Data Marketing Unit, Strategy and Platform Division East Japan Railway Company Marketing Headquarters [Key Lecture Content] East Japan Railway Company announced a new group management vision, "Yusho 2034," aimed at realizing a rich life for all people by July 2025. In addition to the railway transportation business, we will further expand lifestyle service businesses (non-railway) such as station facilities, station buildings, hotels, and real estate, promoting human-centered marketing focused on our customers. To achieve this, data marketing utilizing usage history from Suica and JRE Point members is essential. It is not enough to simply implement tools or acquire analytical techniques; it is crucial to cultivate personnel who understand the business and can conduct appropriate data analysis and strategy planning. We will also introduce the development of job-type personnel in data marketing, which we began recruiting in 2024. In this lecture, I will discuss the key points for advancing data marketing within a business company, incorporating case studies.
