Total production from prototype shaping to mass production.

In recent years, various molding methods other than molds, including 3D printing, have emerged. This has expanded the options for prototyping and mass production to nearly infinite possibilities, tailored to quality and delivery times. However, on the flip side, there are ongoing concerns about which methods to use for prototyping and what points need to be verified for mass production. Our company will propose appropriate prototyping methods and verification points based on the intended use and functionality of the molded products. The main points include: - Understanding the use and functionality of the molded products and identifying key verification points in prototyping - Grasping delivery times and cost targets - When considering mass production molds, incorporating verification related to mold manufacturing costs and durability By leveraging our experience in various mold manufacturing, we aim to contribute to our customers' benefits across the total range from prototyping to mass production with forward-looking proposals. We also welcome inquiries for second opinions!

Inquire About This Product

basic information

We will propose appropriate prototyping methods that match the applications and functions of the molded products while simultaneously meeting your requirements regarding quality, delivery time, and cost. ◆ It doesn't seem necessary to create a prototype mold... How about methods such as 3D printing or resin molds? Even for a prototype mold, creating a single metal mold requires considerable cost and time. If the number of prototypes is less than 100, we will propose optimal prototyping methods that include options other than molds. ◆ I don't really understand what kind of verification is suitable for this molded product... Is the molded product an exterior part that represents the product, or is it a functional part like a gear? The verification content during prototyping will vary greatly depending on this. It would be difficult to achieve a high-quality appearance for exterior parts using only a 3D printer, and evaluating functional parts under significantly different strength designs would also be meaningless. We will propose verification methods suitable for each molded product. ◆ The prototype has been made, but can this be produced with a mold...? There are many mold-specific items that are not present in 3D printing, such as undercuts, draft angles, runner and gate arrangements, and cooling mechanisms. Which items require verification? What methods can be used for verification? We will propose the optimal solutions.

Applications/Examples of results

For example, you can utilize this in the following situations: ◆ Is this approach suitable from prototyping to mass production? Are all necessary verification items covered? I want a second opinion! ...When reviewing the conventional approach, I want to organize the issues and verification methods. In addition to discussions with the usual stakeholders, I often think it would be beneficial to have input from experts. Please feel free to consult us. ◆ While mass production assumes the use of molds, what verification items are necessary in that case? I want to incorporate everything possible from the prototyping stage! ...Even if certain design changes are not required for the molded product, there are often changes needed due to mold-related circumstances. If possible, it would be ideal to incorporate these during the prototyping phase.
