Half-day estimate at the shortest / A must-see for those involved in manufacturing! Introducing a comprehensive collection of basic knowledge that covers stainless steel (SUS) used in various applications in one book!

We would like to introduce a collection of basic knowledge about stainless steel that addresses questions you may feel hesitant to ask now. Stainless steel is widely used in outdoor transportation equipment, railway vehicles, automobiles, medical devices, and precision IT equipment. It can also be found in everyday items such as sinks, washing machines, tableware, handrails, and roofing materials. With a growing demand expected in the future, we have received numerous inquiries at our company. Based on our past experience, we have prepared a comprehensive knowledge collection about stainless steel! We have published it below as a helpful resource for everyone, and we would be grateful if you could take a look. "Contents of the Catalog" 1. "What is Stainless Steel (SUS)?" ... Characteristics 2. "Materials of Stainless Steel" ... Types and applications by material 3. "Workability and Treatment" ... Points to consider during processing and types of surface treatment 4. "Standard Material" ... Information on standard materials that can be used for various applications 5. "Examples of Achievements" ... Our track record and strengths 6. "Company Overview" ... Contact information, etc. If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to contact us. From metals to plastics, we are your go-to for cutting processing of prototype and development parts!

Next-generation large resin and metal 3D printers that achieve astonishing high-speed molding, low-cost, and high-precision molding are being rapidly introduced to the market. These printers are being utilized in the manufacturing of large parts and products in the aerospace, automotive, industrial machinery, plant, defense, and social infrastructure sectors, as well as in parts and mold repairs and reverse engineering. In this seminar, we will discuss the latest developments and features of cutting-edge machines from Stratasys, the largest manufacturer of large resin 3D printers, and Lobotics, along with domestic and international case studies. We will also explore innovative molding technologies from leading users such as Fujikohsai Industries and Sanko Gosei, who utilize large metal 3D printers from Meltio and Matsuura Machinery to create large metal parts, large metal products, and large mold components. The seminar will provide concrete and easy-to-understand explanations of key points and considerations for implementation and utilization, various manufacturing examples, and discussions on molding size, quality, cost, lead time, and success and failure stories. 3D printers enable the complex integrated molding of multiple parts into a single large shape, which was impossible with previous processing methods and technologies. This capability allows for a significant reduction in the number of parts, achieving short lead times, low costs, high-quality manufacturing, and a reduction in the number of processes and personnel involved.

[Speaker] Naomasa Shibuya, Department Manager Data Marketing Unit, Strategy and Platform Division East Japan Railway Company Marketing Headquarters [Key Lecture Content] East Japan Railway Company announced a new group management vision, "Yusho 2034," aimed at realizing a rich life for all people by July 2025.
