This is a inspection jig made using a special material called Invar.
A customer approached us with a request to "improve the lead time and cost of an assembly component consisting of four parts." In response, we proposed a transition to metal 3D printing, which allowed us to reduce assembly labor by integrating the parts. We conducted thorough discussions with the customer and achieved a design that considered shape design and lightweighting using topology software, even taking post-processing into account. Our company realizes optimal designs considering special materials and subsequent processes. If you are considering lightweighting and enhancing functionality through a transition to metal 3D printing, please feel free to consult with us. Togane Metal Industry Co., Ltd., which operates this site, actively proposes transitions from existing methods to metal 3D printing. We are skilled not only in materials like AlSi10Mg, SUS316L, and maraging steel but also in shaping with Invar and other special materials, offering proposals for lightweighting through optimal design and topology optimization that consider subsequent processes. If you are struggling with the lead time and cost of existing methods or wish to integrate parts through a transition to metal 3D printing, please feel free to consult with us.

Applications/Examples of results
Overseas, the practical application of metal 3D printers has advanced, and they are widely used in industrial product manufacturing, but it is said that their utilization in mass production is still not progressing domestically. On the other hand, in our case, we have targeted the market where metal 3D printers can be most effectively utilized, and as a result of our proposal activities, they have been adopted as industrial product components in large numbers. When combining prototypes and mass production, we have more than 5,000 achievements in terms of quantity. Various companies in Japan also own metal 3D printers, but our strength lies in being a foundry manufacturer, as well as being well-versed in machining, welding, and heat treatment, allowing us to propose a comprehensive approach to manufacturing. Thanks to the technologies and networks cultivated through our existing business, we can accommodate various post-processing needs. Without being tied to specific methods, we will propose the most optimal manufacturing methods for complex-shaped parts in terms of cost and lead time.
