Casting × 3D Printer "Mold" and "Core" 'SCM Series' capable of supporting everything from prototype development to mass production! Supported by equipment, materials, and software.
The "SCM Series" is a 3D printer for casting that produces "casting molds" and "cores" using sand molds. It utilizes a 3D printer for casting that employs an inkjet method with "dry artificial sand." By discharging resin into dry artificial sand (produced by GunEi Chemical Industry) and curing it, it enables the high-precision production of complex-shaped cores and molds. - The production time for casting prototypes can be significantly reduced. Since model production is unnecessary, the time required for prototype production, which previously took about a month, can be greatly shortened. - It is possible to reduce model production costs. Direct sand mold production from 3D (CAD/scanner) data eliminates the need for model production and storage space for wooden molds. If shape changes are necessary, production can be done immediately after data modification. - The simultaneous production of various similar items with different shapes and dimensions reduces lead time in the prototyping stage. It is possible to simultaneously produce items with different shapes that require verification of shapes and dimensions, such as aggressive method models. 【Features】 ■ Total support for equipment, materials, and software ■ Sales track record to casting manufacturers and casting prototype manufacturers ■ Development achievements for high-value-added products from aluminum to stainless steel ■ Reduction of troublesome sand removal work due to dry materials ■ Reuse of uncured sand (recovered sand) is possible ■ Material development tailored to user needs

Company information
Our company has been engaged in the development of layered manufacturing devices, known as 3D printers, for 35 years this year, and as a pioneer in Japanese 3D printer development, we have worked for many years to contribute to the advancement of new technologies related to layered manufacturing. As a high-end industrial 3D printer manufacturer, our business policy since our founding has been to provide a "one-stop service" that encompasses equipment development, software development, resin development, and after-sales service. In recent years, the term for layered manufacturing devices has shifted from rapid prototyping (RP) to additive manufacturing (AM), particularly in Europe and the United States, and their application areas have evolved from simple shape verification to advanced testing and evaluation, as well as the realm of actual products and parts, with increasing applications for incorporation into mass-produced items. We specialize in selling high-end photopolymerization devices focused on shape verification, internal visualization, and assembly confirmation, which are emphasized in the early stages of development. We also sell sand mold layered manufacturing devices as tools for reducing lead times in the casting industry. Both of these devices are designed to meet the manufacturing needs of Japan, and we will continue to develop solutions that shape your needs in the future.
