You can create it from just one piece, with a minimum of one piece and a shortest lead time of one week for mold-less casting.
When you need prototype parts due to repeated design changes during development, when there is no stock of parts and you need a quick fix, or when you suddenly want original jigs for on-site work... Isn't there a limited and fixed mindset regarding the ordering sources and manufacturing methods when the required quantity is small? Considering costs and delivery times, options like mold production for repeat mass production or casting methods for metal products are not feasible, right? Therefore, if needed, we propose mold-less casting with our catchphrase "Just make one if you need it." With no need for molds and zero mold costs, we have a delivery record of as short as one week, and we can custom-make cast products starting from just one piece. Since the original form is a 3D printed item, we can accommodate complex shapes and hollow products that cannot be manufactured with molds. Our services are utilized across numerous industries, including aerospace, marine, automotive, precision instruments, industrial equipment, medical, and construction, catering to requests for metal parts from both corporations and individual customers.

Applications/Examples of results
【Examples】 Industrial machinery, semiconductor components, golf club heads, turbochargers, prototype verification of complex shapes, strength verification of cast products, prototype verification with material changes, original parts manufacturing. 【Example Details】 ■Cost Reduction of 80% GG Manifold (Aerospace Component) Two parts were manufactured through machining and then welded together. Additionally, due to the special material, sourcing from overseas processing companies led to increased costs. This was resolved with digital casting. With a wide range of compatible materials and integrated molding, there was a significant reduction in costs along with improved quality due to enhanced strength. Material: Inconel 625, Conventional Method: Machining + Welding ■Short Delivery Time Turbine Impeller Parts (Industrial Turbine) For large parts with a diameter of 380mm, conventional methods required 1 to 2 months for mold production. However, with the digital casting method, cast products can be produced without molds, resulting in a significant improvement in delivery times. It can also accommodate special materials such as heat-resistant steel and duralumin. Material: SCS13 ■Prototype Verification Vehicle Development Prototypes (Next-Generation Mobility) The initial costs associated with mold production and quality concerns after mold creation were resolved with digital casting. Verification of cast products was conducted without molds, alleviating quality concerns. Material: FCD
Detailed information
-
Digital casting is a method of producing metal products by creating resin models with a 3D printer and using them as prototypes, similar to the process of lost-wax precision casting. We can accommodate castings in as little as one week, starting from just one piece, and we can offer advantageous proposals for development and prototyping. We also accept custom orders for metal products from individual customers.
-
High-strength aluminum materials can also be cast.

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.
