Utilizing lost-wax technology that handles various materials. Leave the prototypes aimed at weight reduction to us!
By reducing weight, we can achieve precision in robot control. In response to customer requests to prototype with topology shapes, we proposed a digital casting solution that does not require molds and can accommodate orders starting from just one piece. Industry: Industrial Robots Material: AC4C 【What is Digital Cast?】 When considering costs and delivery times, traditional casting methods that involve mold production for mass production are not viable options. Therefore, we propose mold-free digital casting with the catchphrase "Just make it from one piece if needed!" 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 shape is 3D printed, we can accommodate complex shapes and hollow products that cannot be manufactured with molds. This method is adopted in numerous industries, including aerospace, shipping, automotive, precision machinery, industrial equipment, medical, and construction, and we cater to metal parts manufacturing requests from both corporate 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 processors resulted in higher 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 ■Prototype Verification Vehicle Development Prototype (Next-Generation Mobility) Initial costs from mold production and quality concerns after mold creation were resolved with digital casting. Mold-less casting verification was conducted to eliminate quality concerns. Material: FCD

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.
