Each construction method is significantly different! The removal method involves carving out, while the layering method involves stacking layers.
We will introduce the differences between the cutting process and 3D printing that our company conducts. Both cutting and 3D printing have their own characteristics, and it is necessary to choose between them based on the object and purpose. The advantage of "3D printing" is its low cost and short delivery time. "Cutting" is a processing method that uses various tools to remove unnecessary parts from large materials. It can carve out products from materials similar to molded items, allowing for the production of high-precision and strong products. [Purpose of Prototyping] <3D Printing> ■ Prototyping in the early stages of design development <Cutting> ■ Prototypes that require functional evaluation for precision, strength, heat resistance, water resistance, etc. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
Umehara Model Co., Ltd. was established by the previous president in 1975 with a single engraving machine and has been carving plastic for nearly 40 years. Utilizing the know-how in plastic machining that we have cultivated over the years, along with the latest CAD and NC technologies, we produce a variety of prototype models, ranging from high-performance design mock-ups to working models that emphasize functionality. Additionally, by accepting orders for prototype molds, related additional processing, and sheet metal parts as a unit, we aim to contribute to prototype development in various fields. In recent years, the speed of development has significantly increased. Umehara Model will continue to strive daily to provide our customers with faster, cheaper, and higher quality products.
