In the face of uncertainty regarding future energy supply, we are advancing efforts towards high-efficiency "electrification" and "hybridization" based on gas combustion furnaces.

**Electrification of Thermal Equipment** In an uncertain future for energy supply, we are responding to high-efficiency electrification based on proven thermal equipment (combustion furnaces) to offer multiple options to our customers as an industrial furnace manufacturer. □ Our electric hot air generator (AH-E) can be substituted for our gas combustion type, allowing for electrification without significant changes to the equipment layout. **Hybrid Heating of Electric and Combustion Types** We have numerous achievements not only in full electrification of thermal equipment but also in hybrid heating that combines the advantages of combustion types. We address challenges such as "securing green power, reducing costs, and ensuring power capacity" through hybrid solutions with combustion types. In addition to enhancing the efficiency of electric systems, we can also implement energy-saving systems that utilize waste heat for gas burners. By incorporating hydrogen gas burners, we achieve carbon neutrality! **We Conduct Practical Verification Tests** We conduct various heating tests at the newly established "Thermal Technology Research Institute" within the Horyuji Center. Among these, the "QCO Test Facility" allows for heating tests using four different heat sources! We propose thermal equipment suitable for your work using gas, electric, hydrogen, and hybrid heat sources.

At Seiei Manufacturing, we are proposing low-carbon painting drying ovens to respond to a decarbonized society.

At Shoei Manufacturing, which has extensive experience with painting drying ovens and exhaust gas treatment systems, we offer a lineup of "hydrogen combustion type" and "electric heater type." By using "renewable energy sources" and "hydrogen fuel," we can achieve decarbonization. Even if these options are not currently available, we can adapt to the uncertain future of energy supply by introducing: - A hybrid type that electrifies part of the heat source configuration - Hydrogen gas burners that can also use city gas/propane gas. 【Painting Baking Drying Oven】 Hot Air Zone (100–250°C) ⚪︎ Hydrogen combustion hot air generator "AH-H2" ⚪︎ Electric hot air generator "AH-E" Radiant Baking Heating Zone (700–850°C) ⚪︎ Electric infrared heater ⚪︎ Hydrogen combustion burner Water Removal Drying Oven (100–150°C) / Booth Heating ⚪︎ Hydrogen combustion hot air generator "AH-H2" ⚪︎ Electric hot air generator "AH-E" 【Exhaust Gas Treatment System / VOC Treatment】 ⚪︎ Electric catalytic deodorization device (CT) ⚪︎ Electric regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) Our Thermal Technology Research Institute is equipped with a painting drying test oven (QCO) with a painting booth.

This is a seminar introducing the new features of the latest version, Ver. 30, of the general-purpose 2D CAD system "EASYDRAW." Customers currently using EASYDRAW can achieve further efficiency and utilize convenient features by taking advantage of the new functionalities, so we encourage you to consider attending this seminar.

In aerospace, automotive, and other fields, rapid advancements in material development and manufacturing technology are being made to achieve further weight reduction aimed at improving fuel efficiency and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. This seminar will provide an easy-to-understand explanation for beginners about the trends in new material development at advanced companies that are energetically working towards ultra-lightweight solutions using lightweight materials such as carbon fiber, aluminum, and ceramics, as well as various additive manufacturing (AM) and manufacturing technologies and product case studies utilizing these materials through complex shape integration, lattice/honeycomb structure fabrication, porous structure fabrication, and topology optimization with 3D printers, which are impossible with conventional processing methods and technologies. The lightweighting of parts that can significantly differentiate from conventional and competitor parts is an urgent and critical issue, and intense technological development competition is unfolding both domestically and internationally. 3D printers, which are seen as the next-generation manufacturing method, offer a completely new perspective on AM technology, enabling the creation of innovative and attractive lightweight parts that are difficult to achieve with existing processing methods and technologies, as well as realizing short-term, low-cost, and high-quality manufacturing. Development cannot be expected to progress along the lines of existing technologies. By merging lightweight materials with 3D printing and utilizing topology optimization, astonishing weight reduction of parts can be achieved. We encourage you to take on this challenge.

At the beginning of this seminar, we will focus on the research and development related to ceramics 3D additive manufacturing that the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology has been working on. We will discuss 3D additive manufacturing, powder preparation for manufacturing, debinding and sintering processes, as well as case studies of ceramics 3D additive manufacturing centered on alumina and reaction-sintered silicon carbide. Next, we will introduce Canon's latest developments in high-performance ceramic materials that significantly reduce "shrinkage" during sintering, which excel in selective laser melting (SLM) for 3D printers. We will also cover the characteristics of parts that can be manufactured using this method, layering technology, target fields, contract manufacturing services, and collaboration with Metal Research Institute, which has started high-precision semi-conductor part manufacturing services using metal 3D printers with these materials. After that, we will have advanced explanations from instructors of Shin-Toh V-Ceramics and As One about the development trends of various ceramics 3D printers from world-leading companies 3DCeram Sinto and Lithoz. We will discuss the latest additive manufacturing technologies that enable the creation of innovative parts, rapid part development, prototyping, and manufacturing, significant reductions in the number of parts, lightweight miniaturization, and reductions in manufacturing processes and workforce through the production of complex shapes, hollow and porous structures, and lattice structures that were previously impossible.

The complex shape manufacturing, integrated manufacturing, lattice/honeycomb structure manufacturing, porous structure manufacturing, hybrid structure manufacturing, direct manufacturing from 3D data, as well as topology optimization and collaboration with generative design, which were difficult with conventional processing methods and technologies, can lead to the creation of innovative aluminum parts that are not found in traditional or other companies. This includes rapid development, prototyping, and manufacturing of parts, dramatic reductions in the number of parts, ultra-lightweight and compact designs, and significant reductions in manufacturing time, costs, processes, and workforce. In this seminar, pioneering users such as J·3D, ODEC, and the pioneers of white copper, who are utilizing metal 3D printers to rapidly develop, prototype, and manufacture complex aluminum parts, will specifically explain the key points and precautions for introduction and utilization, various manufacturing methods and technologies, unique next-generation AM technologies developed in-house, and groundbreaking case studies that significantly differentiate their parts from those of other companies, sharing both success and failure stories. With the remarkable advancements in metal AM technology, the use of metal 3D printers for aluminum parts manufacturing will become commonplace in a few years. The secrets to success will be discussed by instructors with numerous research achievements and extensive manufacturing experience, providing clear and concrete lectures for those considering implementation, beginners with interest, and those who are new to the field.
