We will be exhibiting at 3D Printing 2017!

Toray Precision Corporation has been solving customer problems and contributing to society with ultra-precision microfabrication technology since its establishment in 1955. We will be exhibiting at this exhibition a wide range of products, including not only samples created with metal 3D printers but also a collection of our long-cultivated ultra-precision microfabrication technology (processing samples). We invite you to visit our booth to see, touch, and experience them firsthand.

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!

Japan is among the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of significant earthquakes occurring. For the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake measures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

● To determine the sealing and waterproofing of sealed products based on pressure changes, it is not necessary to conduct tests that involve spraying water on the product or immersing it in water. ● Once the product is placed in a dedicated fixture within the inspection device, waterproofing can be quantitatively confirmed through automatic measurement. ● The target product size is W 300 × D 210 × H 100 mm or smaller. ● The target products include automotive cameras, smartphones, ECUs, small motors, and other packaging containers, and are effective for any products that require confirmation of sealing, waterproofing, and airtightness. ● For product specifications and details, please contact us.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
