No maintenance costs required! A casting method that allows for confirmation of product shape at the stage of the polystyrene model.
The "Full Mold Casting Method" is a casting technique in which a polystyrene model is replaced by molten metal to create the final product. Casting is performed by replacing the model with molten metal while the mold is filled with a disposable model, resulting in the creation of castings. Since wooden molds are not required, the lead time for single items or small quantities is shorter and costs are lower. This method is suitable for prototypes, single castings, and artistic castings. Additionally, there are no maintenance costs, and the product shape can be confirmed at the stage of the polystyrene model. 【Features】 ■ Faster lead time compared to wooden mold casting methods ■ Capable of vertical startup due to ownership of numerous NC machines for processing polystyrene models ■ No need for storage costs or maintenance fees unlike wooden molds ■ Product shape can be confirmed at the stage of the polystyrene model ■ Design changes are easier compared to wooden molds *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
Kimura Casting Co., Ltd. is a company that primarily manufactures various types of cast iron, cast steel, and various special alloy castings. In 1966, we introduced the Full Mold Casting (FMC) method, which clearly highlighted both its advantages and disadvantages, making it challenging to overcome the drawbacks. However, after many changes, we abandoned the casting methods we had developed up to that point and specialized in this Full Mold Casting method. This focus and continuity have supported our company today, enabling new business developments. This technology also pairs well with digital technology, and supported by model production using it, we take pride in having brought about revolutionary changes in casting within a broad industrial sector. We will continue to strive to contribute to the changes in society with our "technology and quality."
