Notice of INTERMOLD 2021 / Mold Processing Technology Exhibition

Ultra-fine honeycomb structures of the world's smallest class. They are manufactured using a molding method with extrusion and can also be applied to thermoplastic resins.

Micro-honeycomb is a fine lattice structure formed using extrusion molding molds that leverage our fine hole and fine groove processing technology, exceeding 10,000 cells/in². We have a wide range of production achievements with various materials, including: - Ceramics (alumina, zirconia, etc.) - Metal materials (stainless steel) - Filler-containing thermoplastic resin materials Since it is produced using the extrusion molding method, which continuously discharges uniform cross-sectional shapes, it is also possible to manufacture integrated parts exceeding a length of 200mm. In addition to the production of honeycomb structures using our owned molds, we also accept new designs and prototypes starting from mold production, as well as external sales of molds only. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

In addition to square, hexagonal, and octagonal grids, we also accommodate irregular shapes! We will design molds according to your preferences.

At Nagamine Seisakusho, which provides a wide range of ultra-precision molded products using microtechnology, we handle "precision honeycomb extrusion molding dies." Honeycomb structures have the advantage of significantly increasing the contact area for fluids while minimizing pressure loss. We can accommodate not only square, hexagonal, and octagonal grids but also irregular shapes. We will design the mold according to your desired grid shape and molding machine. 【Design Specifications】 ■ Hole diameter: Min. φ0.8mm ■ Groove width: Min. 0.05mm ■ Pitch accuracy: ±10μm ■ Hole diameter accuracy: ±10μm ■ Groove width accuracy: ±10μm *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

It is 3D printing processing of ceramics! It is possible to directly manufacture ceramic parts from CAD data!

Ceramics 3D printing is a new technology for shaping ceramics using a 3D printer. By applying the ceramic molding materials (filaments) developed by our company, three-dimensional shaping of ceramics is possible with a typical FDM (Fluid Deposition Modeling) 3D printer.

Processing reduction through molding technology utilizing molds. It is a ceramic component manufacturing technology strong in mass production of complex-shaped and fine parts.

This is an introduction to our ceramic injection molding technology, which leverages our core technologies of precision mold and ceramic material preparation. By primarily blending organic-based resin binders with ceramic powder materials and compounding them, we can mold and process ceramics into various shapes using molds, much like resin materials. The mold and shape flexibility is similar to that of resin injection molding, and in the manufacturing of expensive ceramic components, this technology achieves shorter lead times, lower costs, and reduced raw material waste through a reduction in processing steps.

These are conductive ceramics that can be tailored for specific characteristics, ranging from mΩ (milliohms) to GΩ (gigaohms) depending on the application.

Ceramics are materials that excel in mechanical properties, balancing wear resistance (hardness) and strength, and are widely used in our products, such as suction transport nozzles for surface mount machines. Generally, ceramics are electrically insulative (materials that do not conduct electricity), but in recent years, there has been a demand for conductive ceramics in semiconductor and electronic component manufacturing processes and the electronics field for static electricity countermeasures. To meet such needs, we have developed our unique conductive ceramics.

Porosity up to 98%! It is a metal porous body with excellent air permeability!

It is a porous metal material containing numerous pores like a resin sponge. Each pore is part of a continuous bubble structure, allowing fluids to pass through reliably. Additionally, compared to plates/blocks, the specific surface area is improved by several hundred times, making it suitable for use as a reaction layer or filter. Examples of applications (consideration cases): - Components for fuel cells (gas diffusion layers, separators, electrodes) - Reaction electrodes - Catalyst supports - Filters (air filters, grease filters, etc.) - Components for factory automation (adsorption plates, adsorption transport pads) - Medical field applications (artificial joint components, bone regeneration treatment materials)

[Speaker] Mr. Takashi Fujita, Economist, Economic Research Department, Meiji Yasuda Research Institute, Inc. [Key Lecture Content] In this lecture, we will explore the social roles that autonomous driving and robot taxis can play, starting from the recent serious shortage of taxis, and systematically address the challenges for their social implementation from multiple perspectives. Considering structural changes such as the decrease and aging of taxi drivers and the increase in demand from foreign visitors to Japan, we will compare the trends of overseas companies like Waymo with the characteristics of demonstration experiments conducted by Japanese automobile manufacturers. Additionally, we will explain the current state of responsibility determination in the event of accidents during Level 4 autonomous driving, the insurance system, and the development of legal frameworks, while looking ahead to the necessary public-private and cross-industry collaboration to enhance social acceptance. [Lecture Items] 1. Structural factors of taxi shortages, increase in foreign visitors, and transportation demand 2. Leading examples from overseas and strengths of Japanese companies 3. Achievements and challenges of domestic demonstration experiments 4. Responsibility determination in the event of accidents 5. Relationship between compulsory insurance, voluntary insurance, and the Product Liability Law 6. Barriers to social acceptance 7. Responses towards social implementation 8. Q&A / Business card exchange
