A must-see for those considering 3D printing with metal! The key points of design for 3D models are all covered in this one book!

The "Metal 3D Printer Handbook" is a must-read booklet for those considering metal 3D printing (metal additive manufacturing), featuring the principles of shaping, key points for designing models, and case studies. In most cases, additional material known as support is required to support the printed object during the shaping process. This handbook clearly explains the points for designing to minimize that support. 【Contents】 ■ About metal additive manufacturing ■ Design rules ■ Examples of supports and strategies to avoid them ■ Methods for removing supports ■ How to order and company introduction *Currently, we are offering the "Metal 3D Printer Handbook" as a special gift exclusively for Ipros users!

A new manufacturing process that combines the freedom of metal 3D printing with high-quality precision machining! "One-stop support from modeling to quality control."

Metal additive manufacturing (metal 3D printing) is a technology that produces objects by irradiating metal powder with a laser to melt and solidify it. By layering metal powder in micrometer-thick layers, it is possible to obtain dense and high-precision parts. A wide range of products can be created, from large components up to 250×250×H325mm to small precision parts. We accommodate various needs from prototyping to mass production. By combining metal additive manufacturing with our precision machining technology, we have produced precision products that were previously difficult to achieve. - The three-dimensional sanitary piping is a product made by combining interior polishing (Ra13μm→Ra0.5μm) of inaccessible three-dimensional piping channels, machining, and welding. - The air flow channel component (free air flow channel with an oval cross-section) is a precision part that achieves a gap of 0.3mm and a surface roughness of Ra0.2μm through precision wire processing. - The lightweight gear features a lattice structure to reduce weight, with the end faces finished to a mirror surface through precision grinding. - The Trinity pendant consists of three interconnected components that rotate freely with minimal gaps. The end faces are also finished to a mirror surface through precision grinding.

The production of parts that was difficult with previous cutting processes has been realized! We offer a total solution from the preliminary stages of modeling to finishing!

"Metal additive manufacturing" directly creates complex-shaped parts from 3D data using a metal 3D printer. This manufacturing method involves irradiating a thin layer of metal powder with a laser to melt the necessary parts, then spreading more powder and repeating the same process to build the shape. Toray Precision, a pioneer in "ultra-precision microfabrication," offers comprehensive proposals that consider the product's functionality and finish from the early stages of manufacturing. 【Features】 ■ Production of parts that were difficult to achieve with traditional machining is now possible! ■ Secondary processing after shaping allows for improvements in dimensional accuracy and surface roughness! ■ By creating welded or segmented parts as a single unit, processing time can be reduced and costs can be lowered! ■ The range of sizes and types of materials that can be shaped has expanded, allowing for large-scale shaping of φ1320× height 1150mm! *Catalog with processing examples is currently available!

Challenges Before Implementation A company that manufactures and sells confections using juice was naturally thawing fruit juice stored in drums. The thawing process (natural thawing) took 3 to 4 days in summer and over 10 days in winter, occupying a large space within the factory during that time. Additionally, it required personnel to manage the process, which significantly constrained productivity. There were also concerns about the deterioration of the freshness and color of the juice, leading to a demand for a more efficient and high-quality thawing method. Effects of Implementation The implementation was based on confirming the effectiveness through actual machine tests conducted in the Shinagawa test room beforehand. It was confirmed that the thawing of drums with the Proton thawing machine could be completed in one day year-round. Therefore, a customized proposal for the introduction of a large differential pressure rapid thawing machine and storage facility was made, maintaining high quality without compromising the freshness and flavor of 100% juice. Additionally, the need for a dedicated thawing space was eliminated, allowing personnel to be reassigned to other departments, which significantly improved productivity. The thawing machine received high praise for achieving both quality preservation and efficiency simultaneously. *We are preparing a test machine and look forward to your visit.

The "Proton Defroster" is a system that can defrost delicate fish roe, such as mass salmon roe and red salmon roe, which are sensitive to temperature changes, in a high-quality and hygienic manner. In conventional methods, high temperatures and long operation times were unavoidable, leading to uneven defrosting. Additionally, tanks placed outdoors were difficult to clean and had hygiene issues, such as mold growth. The "Proton Defroster" uses a steam boiler as its heat source, allowing for uniform defrosting in a low-temperature, high-humidity environment with 100% humidity. It eliminates uneven defrosting and prevents color fading and flavor deterioration. With efficient heat transfer through the latent heat of steam condensation, the color of the fish roe remains vibrant, and the flesh stays firm during defrosting. As a result, in the cleaning and trimming processes (deveining), the roe is less likely to be crushed, enhancing the effectiveness of enzyme treatment, improving yield, and increasing work efficiency. The Proton Defroster, which preserves color, shape, and texture without compromising freshness and quality, greatly contributes to quality control and product value enhancement in the seafood processing industry. *We have a test machine ready and look forward to your visit.
