Are you having trouble with prototype development of metal products or one-off production?
【Short Delivery Time Response】 Lead time can be as short as 2 weeks (with the shortest record being within 5 days). Generally, casting methods from mold production take 1 to several months, but this technology allows for a speedy process, helping to shorten development periods and construction times. 【Wide Range of Metal Materials Supported】 Digital casting allows for the selection of over 70 types of materials (casting materials). This includes common materials such as iron-based, stainless steel, aluminum, and copper (including pure copper), as well as special alloys (such as duralumin A7075 and Inconel), heat-resistant steel, tool steel, and high-speed steel. It provides designers with flexible options. 【Manufacturing Capable from Small to Medium to Large Parts】 With the ability to accommodate sizes up to 500 mm square, it is ideal for manufacturing small to medium and large parts. This enables the integrated manufacturing of large machine components and parts with complex or hollow shapes. 【Rational Prototype Verification Aimed at Mass Production Casting】 For mass production repeats, molds are created using the lost wax precision casting method (our core technology), and prototype verification is conducted with similar cast products before manufacturing, which is a rational method for evaluating mechanical properties (such as strength confirmation). *Please note that the feasibility of support and lead time estimates may vary depending on size, shape, specifications, quantity, etc.

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.
