Masuno Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting at the "International Powder Industry Exhibition Tokyo 2024," which will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from November 27 to 29, 2024. This event will feature major companies related to powder manufacturing equipment and measurement instruments. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

At the beginning of the seminar, we will introduce Canon's latest developments in a groundbreaking high-performance ceramic material that excels in selective laser melting (SLM) for 3D printers, which suppresses "shrinkage" during firing. We will discuss the characteristics of parts that can be created using this method, layer manufacturing technology, target fields, and contract manufacturing services, as well as our collaboration with Metal Research Institute, which has started a high-precision ceramic parts manufacturing service using metal 3D printers with this material. Following that, we will provide a clear explanation of the development trends of various ceramic 3D printers from world-class companies such as SKEFINE, Lithoz, and Sinto Advanced Ceramics. We will cover the innovative manufacturing technologies that enable the creation of complex shapes that were previously impossible with traditional processing methods, including the manufacturing of hollow, porous, and lattice structures. This includes the creation of innovative parts, rapid development and prototyping of components, a significant reduction in the number of parts, lightweight miniaturization, and a substantial reduction in manufacturing processes and workforce. We will also discuss recent attention-grabbing developments in high-speed, large ceramic 3D printers for the short-term and low-cost manufacturing of large parts and products. Thanks to the remarkable advancements in ceramic 3D printing/AM technology, manufacturing ceramic parts with 3D printers will become commonplace in a few years.

As Asahi Industrial, this will be our first time exhibiting as kensatools at the Business Fair 2026. We will showcase our cutting technology for thin aluminum products, "Asahi" for grasping, and measurement and inspection tools based on the concept of "easy for anyone" and "accurate for anyone." If you have time, please stop by our booth.

We exhibited last year as well, and we will be exhibiting at the Next Generation Manufacturing Infrastructure Technology Industry Exhibition. We will showcase our cutting technology for aluminum thin-walled products, "Asahi" for grasping, and measurement and inspection jigs with the concept of "easy for anyone" and "accurate for anyone." If you have time, please feel free to stop by our booth. Please note that prior registration is required for attendance. <Official Website> https://www.techbizexpo.com/
