Moldless lost-wax casting "Digital Cast" and metal 3D printing "Digital Sinter," what is the optimal solution for your needs?
★Comparison of the Differences and Advantages between Moldless Casting "Digital Cast" and Metal 3D Printing "Digital Sinter"! In recent years, manufacturing technology for metal parts has evolved dramatically. Moldless casting methods and metal 3D printing are particularly attracting attention in our technology category. 【Advantages of Metal 3D Printing: Digital Sinter】 ■ Overwhelming Speed Digital Sinter has a lead time of about one week (with the shortest record being two days), making it very advantageous for prototypes and small-scale production that require urgent responses. ■ Strong in Producing Complex Shapes and Small Parts The maximum size it can accommodate is 80mm on each side, but it excels in manufacturing small and complex-shaped parts. It is ideal for small components in medical devices and electronic devices, as well as for developing very small quantities of parts. ■ Specific Steel Type Compatibility The materials that can be used are limited to SINTER T (SUS316L) and SINTER D (pure copper, SUS316L, SUS630). This allows for the rapid provision of difficult-shaped items. *This is a guideline for the maximum size and steel types based on our metal 3D printing service. 【What is the Best Metal Forming for Your Needs?】 We provide the optimal manufacturing method for your project, along with VE proposals, based on the purpose of part procurement (QCD) and specification conditions.

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.
