Notice of participation in the '2026 NAGOYA Automotive Technology Exhibition' from June 17 (Wednesday) to June 19 (Friday), 2026.

Starting from April 2023! Introducing a new model that enables 3D modeling with silicone rubber!

"SILICOM" is a product that expands the new possibilities of silicone rubber (silicon) 3D printing, utilizing a UV (ultraviolet) curing liquid layered manufacturing method (LAM method). It features excellent transparency and achieves a reduction in the layer marks characteristic of 3D printing. The material supply adopts a cartridge system, simplifying the setup for changes in hardness and other adjustments. With our proprietary slicing software, it is easy to perform printing simply by selecting the material, and further complex shapes can be created through cross-linking. 【Features】 ■ Stable supply and guarantee system through domestic production in Japan ■ A planned lineup of various hardness levels from low to high hardness ■ Excellent transparency ■ Achieves the removal of layer marks characteristic of 3D printing ■ Color tone compatibility is also possible ■ 100% silicone rubber *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Revolutionary! Soft filament usable with general-purpose FDM 3D printers.

"HP Filament (Super Flexible Type)" is a soft filament created from a unique blend of polylactic acid and elastomer. While it is soft, it has a core that is close to that of a hard filament in its filament state, and it does not stretch like typical soft materials, making it suitable as a filament for FDM 3D printers. 【Features】 ■ Flexibility: Capable of creating highly flexible objects ■ Stability: Allows for stable and high-precision modeling ■ Functionality: Can also be used as support material depending on the settings ■ Colorability: Can be colored *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Non-halogenated, environmentally friendly flame-retardant elastomer foam equivalent to UL-94 V-0!

We have developed an "Eco Nannen Elastomer Sponge" that is highly flexible and does not contain halogens, using our unique compounding technology. Compared to conventional rubber-based flame-retardant sponges, the amount of carbon dioxide emissions during production can be significantly reduced. Additionally, being non-halogenated makes it suitable for electronics products and automotive products, which face stricter environmental regulations and flame-retardant standards in recent years, as well as for flame-retardant sponge tubes and pipes used in construction materials. We are currently making diligent efforts to further reduce hardness and develop irregular shapes. Samples are available for those who are interested. 【Features】 ■ Flame Retardancy: Has performance equivalent to V-0 in UL94 standard testing ■ Excellent Environmental Properties: A product that is environmentally friendly as it does not use RoHS regulated substances ■ Flexibility: Lightweight with a specific gravity of 0.57±0.2, offering excellent flexibility *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Achieving electrostatic flocking equivalents at low cost.

"HP Flock" is a revolutionary extruded product that enables the electrostatic flocking process, which has been used in automotive weather strips and other applications, through a special processing method, allowing for cost reduction and improved environmental performance. Electrostatic flocking involves applying adhesive to the product and using static electricity to insert fibers into the product's surface, making it a labor-intensive process that can dirty the work environment and lead to increased costs due to secondary processing. Thanks to its unique processing method, this product eliminates the need for drying operations like those required in electrostatic flocking, allowing for cost savings. Additionally, by not using large amounts of solvents such as primers or adhesives during manufacturing, and by reducing drying processes, it can decrease CO2 emissions, making it possible to create products with lower environmental impact. The standard flock is made of nylon with a density of 3.3 dtex and a pile length of 0.5 mm, but other options for density, pile length, and material changes to polyester are also available. Moreover, the creation of colored products, multiple processing points on a single cross-section, and depending on the shape, molding with our special low-friction resin "Sube Up" is also possible. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

We will be exhibiting at the "Automotive World Nagoya" held at Aichi Sky Expo in Aichi Prefecture. New technologies on cutting-edge themes in the automotive industry, such as autonomous driving, vehicle electrification, connected cars, and lightweighting, will be showcased all in one place. It will be an excellent opportunity for business discussions and technical consultations with automobile manufacturers, auto parts manufacturers, and suppliers from the Chubu and Kinki regions. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

[Instructor] Miki Yoshinobu, President and CEO of Toraizu Co., Ltd. (Former Chief of Staff at SoftBank) [Key Lecture Content] During his time as Chief of Staff at SoftBank, the instructor developed a "super practical project management technique to reach goals in the shortest and fastest way" after being given numerous challenging projects by President Masayoshi Son. "This project management skill is not something that is only necessary for special projects. In today's rapidly changing environment, routine work is fundamentally disappearing. It is becoming essential to continuously reassess everything from a zero-based perspective. In other words, whether it's creating materials requested by a superior or engaging in sales activities, everything has become 'project-like work.' Therefore, in this seminar, we will clearly explain the basics of project management and practical methods for the field."

[Archive Distribution] How to Standardize Black Box Legacy Systems and Field Operations and Transition to a New System Legacy systems that have become black boxes after many years since their introduction. Amid urgent calls for renewal due to the "2025 Cliff" and the "Logistics 2024 Problem," many responsible individuals feel pressure with concerns like "I don't know how to write an RFP," "I'm worried about missing requirements," and "I can't afford to fail." In this seminar, we will thoroughly explain the "steps to create a successful RFP" to lead logistics DX to success. We will specifically discuss the standardization of operations that abandon current practices and data integration strategies. Additionally, we will introduce common pitfalls through actual failure cases. [Recommended for] - Logistics planners, IT system personnel, and DX promotion staff from shipper companies and logistics companies. - Those who are tasked with renewing black box legacy systems and feel pressure, or those who are anxious about "missing requirements" and "vendor selection." - Recommended for those seeking practical insights from writing a correct RFP to standardizing current operations, internal adjustments, and ROI calculation tips.
