There are also examples of medical device parts and aerospace-related parts. We can accommodate a wide range from lots of 10 pieces to tens of thousands!
The "Metal Injection Molding" method is a processing technique that creates metal parts in the desired shape by mixing powdered metal with a binder and injecting it into a mold. It excels in producing fine thin-walled shapes with thicknesses ranging from 0.2 mm to 5 mm. It can accommodate millimeter orders and demonstrates properties equivalent to those of melted materials, such as torsion and bending. With a density of over 95%, the pores take on a round, independent shape, resulting in excellent mechanical strength. During the binder debinding process, high-speed debinding and sintering are performed to minimize the alteration and deformation of the metal powder. Various conditions such as vacuum, reducing atmosphere, inert atmosphere, and high-pressure atmosphere can be precisely controlled, allowing for sintering processes suitable for each type of metal. There are also examples in medical devices and aerospace components, and it can handle a wide range of production from batches of 10 to tens of thousands. 【Features】 ■ Small lot products of fewer than 3000 pieces are supported with low-cost dedicated molds. ■ In addition to standard metal injection materials, a wide range of materials is accommodated. ■ All processes, including precision machining, heat treatment, and plating, are integrated into a single production line. ■ Quick response to low-cost, short lead times, and design changes or corrections. ■ The entire process from mold creation to machining is managed in-house. *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us.

basic information
■Transition from Machined Products to MIM Method for Cost Reduction and Improved Lead Time Previously, products were machined, but by switching to manufacturing using the MIM (Metal Injection Molding) method, mass production efficiency has improved and lead times have been reduced. Additionally, by reducing material weight, we have also achieved some cost reduction. ■Manufacturing All Types of Medical Device Parts The imaging product is a component that grips cells inside the body during surgery, measuring 5mm in length, produced using the MIM method. Tolerances of 0.01mm were achieved with MIM materials, and it was completed without machining. We were able to significantly reduce costs for products that are very expensive to produce through machining. 【Process Flow to Delivery】 ■1. Design ■2. Mold Production ■3. Injection Molding ■4.

■We manufacture all types of medical device components. The image product is a 5mm long component made using the MIM process, designed to grasp cells inside the body during surgery. The holes achieve a tolerance of 0.01mm with MIM material, and it was completed without machining. With cutting, we were able to significantly reduce costs for a product that is typically very expensive.
-
The MIM manufacturing method also includes a miniature tool set of approximately 25mm. The lineup of 12 types of mini tools consists of "scissors," "needle-nose pliers," "nippers," "pliers," "water pump pliers," "monkey wrench," "shackles," "machine vice," "bow saw," "caliper," "micrometer," and "utility knife." All tools are manufactured using the fine molding technology of the MIM method, which is used to create parts for medical devices.

Company information
With a posture of "just half a step" without complacency, we have cultivated "lost wax precision casting" over many years. Utilizing 3D printing technology, we offer next-generation precision casting technology called "Digital Cast." We obtained a U.S. patent for "MIM (Metal Injection Molding)" in 1991. We provide optimal proposals using various technologies and thoroughly support our customers' manufacturing! We specialize in complex three-dimensional shapes in small lots of various types and carry out everything from mold making to casting, machining, and simple assembly in an integrated in-house system. We supply products to various industries, including medical devices, semiconductors, machine tools, and aerospace. "Just make it, from one piece." We can propose a wide range of manufacturing methods from prototype production of one piece to mass production. We also enable time savings in searching for various suppliers and considering consultation destinations, becoming a true total cost reduction partner by proposing reductions in management costs related to consideration time and product costs. More than half a century ago, Castem began its casting business by handcrafting machine tools. Today, we have become a leading company in Japan for manufacturing general industrial components using lost wax casting and are also engaged in the production of micro lenses and micro needles using the world's highest precision 3D light shaping technology.
