Examples of High-Quality and Long-Life Plastic Mold Production Using Metal 3D Printers <Zoom Online Seminar> - Advanced cases where early users have achieved the suppression and prevention of defects and troubles, as well as low cost and long life, through 3D water pipes, complex integrated shapes, porous, and hybrid manufacturing, which were previously impossible. [Half-price tuition]

Nitto Kohki will exhibit at the "H₂ & FC EXPO Spring International Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Exhibition" held at Tokyo Big Sight, West Exhibition Hall 2, from February 28 (Wednesday) to March 1 (Friday), 2024. [Booth Number: W14-63] The quick fluid coupling "Coupler" is a product that allows for the rapid connection and disconnection of piping for various fluids such as air, water, oil, and chemical solutions. At this exhibition, we will primarily showcase the high-pressure hydrogen filling quick fluid coupling "HHV Coupler."

Nitto Kohki will hold the "2025 Attack Fair in Meiko" for two days from July 23 (Wednesday) to July 24 (Thursday), 2025, at the "Kowa Seminar Plaza 2F Training Room NO.12 (inside Kowa Sports Land)." The Attack Fair is an exhibition where you can actually "see, touch, and operate" Nitto Kohki's products. Additionally, there will be wonderful souvenirs for attendees and many fun activities planned. We look forward to welcoming everyone!

We will hold a seminar on the theme of "How to Create a 'DX and AI Promotion Organization that Achieves Results' Without Just Implementing AI." While the number of companies working on generative AI is increasing, research indicates that only 5% of these companies are achieving a return on investment. In this seminar, we will introduce the reasons for the lack of results that have become apparent through Japan Electronic Computing's support for many customers, as well as the commonalities of companies that continue to achieve results. This 30-minute session will focus on organizing the next steps from the perspective of "creating a system that allows the organization to operate independently," rather than just selecting AI tools. ■ Date and Time: November 26, 2026 (Thursday) 14:00–14:30 (Connection at 13:50) ■ Location: Web Seminar (held via Webex) ■ Theme: "How to Create a 'DX and AI Promotion Organization that Achieves Results' Without Just Implementing AI" ■ Agenda: - Why does the introduction of generative AI not lead to business transformation? (Four structural factors) - The "three walls" that hinder promotion, as seen through support - Commonalities and initiatives of companies that continue to achieve results (promotion system, talent development, practical improvements) - Case studies (efficiency in budget management / mock inspections in the pharmaceutical industry) - Support approach from result creation to self-sustainability

In this seminar, we will first provide a practical explanation of the industry-leading plastic mold manufacturing technology using metal 3D printers by Sanko Gosei, which utilizes the hybrid metal 3D printers from Matsuura Machinery. We will discuss examples of dramatically reduced mold cooling times with 3D cooling water pipe technology, the suppression and prevention of defects and troubles such as short shots and gas burns due to high gas venting effects from porous molding, and the molding of large mold components. After that, J·3D, which has introduced the metal 3D printers from EOS, the world leader in metal 3D printing, and currently owns four units, boasts the highest production numbers for mold manufacturing using metal 3D printers in Japan. This time, we will clearly explain how to choose a metal 3D printer without making mistakes, essential foundational knowledge for metal molding, various molding methods and technologies, the latest application examples, and the suppression and prevention of defects and troubles through three-dimensional free water pipes and hybrid structure molding, as well as cost reduction methods, technologies, and examples, based on numerous research results and extensive molding achievements.

Recently, a variety of ceramic 3D printers have been rapidly introduced to the market, enabling the creation of complex shapes that were previously impossible, as well as hollow, porous, and lattice structures. This has led to the innovative production of ceramic parts, short-term, low-cost, high-quality manufacturing, a significant reduction in the number of parts, and a substantial decrease in production processes and workforce. On the other hand, Canon has developed a new high-performance ceramic material that excels in selective laser melting, which minimizes "shrinkage" during firing, utilizing metal 3D printers. In June of last year, Canon and the Metal Research Institute collaborated to officially launch a contract manufacturing service for high-precision, complex-shaped ceramic parts using Canon's innovative ceramic materials and 3D Systems' metal 3D printers. In this seminar, we will explain the development trends of Canon's ceramic materials compatible with metal 3D printers, the molding technology using these materials, the characteristics of the parts that can be molded, the physical properties and features of the molded products, target areas, collaboration with the Metal Research Institute, and future developments in material development.
