Are you having trouble with the delivery time for your cast metal prototypes? Introducing our "Casting Prototype Service!" for cast iron, aluminum castings, and stainless steel castings (lost wax casting)!
● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or variations in dimensions, can be modeled at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

basic information
By utilizing 3D printers, traditional wooden molds and metal molds are no longer necessary, allowing for benefits such as "reduction of initial costs," "prototype production in as little as 6 days," and "simultaneous prototyping of similar products." (Supported data: IGES/STEP/PARASOLID) In research and development evaluations, the ability to prototype similar products simultaneously contributes to "shortened timelines" and "cost reduction." By presenting prototypes and evaluation data to customers in advance, the risks during the product launch of mass-produced items can be reduced.

Applications/Examples of results
Case of working machine parts (Quantity: 1 piece, Φ150×300, approximately 10kg, hollow shape, FCD600, appearance and dimensional inspection) Cost: Compared to traditional wooden mold production, model making and molding costs reduced by about 60-70%! Delivery time: Traditional wooden mold production took 25 days, but the prototype production period was shortened to 6 days! *The above is an example when 3D data of the material is provided. Costs and delivery times vary depending on product shape, quantity, and other manufacturing conditions.
