Achieving low cost and short delivery times! It has become possible to produce prototypes until you are satisfied.
At Company P, a manufacturer of production machinery, over 100 parts are required to create a single product. Each part's prototype is outsourced, and it takes a long process involving the creation of simple molds, shaping with metal, and then fine-tuning through machining, resulting in a lead time of 1 to 1.5 months for the completion of prototypes. Therefore, we decided to utilize the 3D printer already owned by the company along with our casting machine to produce prototypes in-house. The block mold method reduces the time required by about 90% compared to traditional casting methods that use molds, and since there is no need for mold costs, it achieves low costs. [Background] - Prototypes for each part were outsourced. - The lead time for completing prototypes was 1 to 1.5 months. - Significant costs were incurred for creating molds for each part, leading to challenges with costs and lead times every time improvements were made. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
Our company, established in 1960, was the first in Japan to develop and sell domestically produced casting machines for jewelry, making us the longest-established casting machine manufacturer in the country. Currently, we manufacture and sell both analog and digital devices for melting and casting various metals and alloys, not only for the jewelry industry but also for companies in all sectors. We do not just sell products; we provide technology. We propose the most suitable casting machines while listening to what our customers want to create, and we also offer customization based on their requests and suggestions for consumable materials that match their products. After purchase, we support our customers to ensure they can create products that align with their vision under our technical guidance. Additionally, we are focusing on proposals for casting production using 3D printers and low-cost prototyping technologies, contributing to the future of "Japanese manufacturing."
