We will be exhibiting at the International Plastic Fair (IPF JAPAN 2023)!

Complex surfaces and 3D shapes can also sparkle!

Tujikawa's hot stamping plates for plastics enable foil stamping on resin products. Tujikawa also provides fixtures along with the plates, allowing for high precision and user-friendly plate and fixture specifications. These are used in various fields such as automotive emblems, front grilles, shift levers, cosmetic bottles, and cream jar containers. <Features> - Luxury feel: The metallic luster adds a sense of luxury to the product! - Process reduction: No need for processes such as masking and drying required for painting or plating! - Low environmental impact: Unlike painting or plating, it does not require chemicals, solvents, or solutions, thus reducing environmental burden. - Compact: No need for large equipment! Hot stamping machines can be as small as tabletop models. They can be introduced in a space-saving manner compared to painting or plating. - Diverse variations: With a rich variety of foils, it is possible to achieve various expressions beyond metallic textures, such as wood grain, leather, and scales!

Bringing ideas to life. Transforming free-thinking concepts into reality with Tsujikawa's 3D printing. We provide sample models for exhibitions, mock-ups for photography, and more.

A mock-up refers to a "prototype model" of industrial products and is used in design competitions and presentations. At Tsujikawa, we create mock-ups using the most suitable 3D printer tailored to the product you want to make. By creating a mock-up, even fine details that are difficult to convey with just design sketches can be shared visually, significantly enhancing persuasiveness. <Features> - Full-color and transparent modeling is possible - Large mock-ups can also be created (e.g., car front grilles or seats) - 3D modeling data can be produced from rough sketches - We have multiple CAD systems available, allowing for the design of shapes that are difficult to achieve with standard CAD For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

It supports engraving for molds used in primary processing such as injection molding and molds for secondary processing such as hot stamping, enabling a wide range of decorative proposals.

▶Satin Finish ▷Feature 1 - Reduction of Environmental Impact Compared to traditional etching methods for satin finishing, environmental impact is dramatically reduced. ▷Feature 2 - Enhanced Design Quality Utilizing the fine processing capabilities of lasers, it is possible to reproduce higher design quality and textures on molds. Complex gradient expressions, multiple heights, and smooth uneven textures can also be applied. It is possible to simultaneously process different expressions such as intricate hairlines, textures, and relief shapes that cannot be achieved with etching or engraving plates. We can accommodate complex molds with curved surfaces. Our in-house design department utilizes unique know-how to enable the expression of fine and previously unseen textures and finishes. ▷Feature 3 - Digitalization of Processing Steps It allows for reduced lead times and guarantees consistent quality for molds with high production volumes or updated designs. ▶Fine Processing ▷It is easier to achieve sharper edges than with standard small-diameter tools, and since it is not a physical machining process like cutting, there is no risk of tool damage due to the hardness of the steel or engraving depth. ▷Unlike discharge machining, there is no need for electrode manufacturing processes, allowing for direct engraving on molds, which reduces production labor.

Ichikawa Techno Fabrics Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting at the "New Functional Materials Exhibition 2026" held at Tokyo Big Sight. This exhibition will bring together many products and technologies essential for manufacturing, from materials to processing and devices. Numerous visitors with specific needs seeking solutions to various challenges will attend. Collaboration proposals among exhibitors, as well as between visitors and exhibitors, will also be active. At our booth, we plan to showcase "industrial felt." We look forward to your visit.

The winners of the 8th "Safety Labeling and Human Development Contest" hosted by Max Corporation have been decided. Along with this award ceremony, we will hold a "Safety Exchange Meeting" where each company will present and share their daily safety activities. 【Agenda (Tentative)】 - Award ceremony for the 8th "Safety Labeling and Human Development Contest" - Report on safety activities (from two winning companies) - Lecture on workplace safety activities - Exchange of information on safety activities and labeling, etc. This is a valuable opportunity to learn about the initiatives and safety labeling of other companies! We encourage your participation.

The Daigaku Art and Design Exhibition is a joint exhibition by university students studying art and engineering from four universities in Japan. In 2025, it will be held in Nagoya. Natek is sponsoring the Daigaku Art and Design Exhibition 2025 to support the activities of students who will be responsible for Japan's future manufacturing. We look forward to your visit.

When we look around us, we see various areas such as housing, home appliances, automobiles, miscellaneous goods, and sports equipment filled with many plastic materials like synthetic fibers, films, bottles, and resin products. However, the concept of modern polymer materials, specifically the idea of polymers (macromolecules) connected by covalent bonds, was not established just 100 years ago. Therefore, it can be said that in less than a century, numerous plastic materials with various characteristics have been developed and rapidly integrated into our lives. Due to the short history and the diversity of materials, there are various challenges encountered when dealing with plastic materials, and the role of analytical technicians in solving these issues is significant. In this course, we will explain important and fundamental points over two sessions, focusing on the field of resin materials, not only for analytical technicians but also for engineers who create products using plastic materials and those who use plastic products to deepen their understanding. In the first session, which serves as a foundational overview, we will discuss the characteristics of representative plastic materials, including molecular structure and physical properties, characteristics and applications, and manufacturing methods, to aid in the understanding of plastic materials.

When we look around us, we see that various areas such as housing, home appliances, automobiles, miscellaneous goods, and sports equipment are overflowing with many plastic materials like synthetic fibers, films, bottles, and resin products. However, 100 years ago, the concept of modern polymer materials, specifically the idea of polymers (macromolecules) connected by covalent bonds, had not yet been established. Therefore, it can be said that in just under a century, numerous plastic materials with various characteristics have been developed and rapidly integrated into our lives. Due to the short history and the diversity of materials, there are various challenges encountered when handling plastic materials, but the role of analytical technicians in solving these issues is significant. Following the previous foundational edition, this second application edition will explain polymer multiphase materials (such as polymer alloys, compounds, and resin composites) and molding techniques, as well as environmental issues surrounding plastic materials, in order to enhance the practical value of plastic materials.
