MIM (Metal Injection Molding) method, which excels in micro components. A metal forming technology that boasts excellent mechanical strength, a smooth surface, and high dimensional accuracy.

By switching the manufacturing of metal parts, which were traditionally produced through cutting processes, to the MIM (Metal Injection Molding) method, we have improved mass production capabilities and reduced lead times. Additionally, by reducing the weight of the material, we have achieved cost reductions. Material: SUS304L Size: 17×13×8 ーーーーーーーCastem's MIM Methodーーーーーーーー 【Features】 We excel at producing fine, complex three-dimensional shapes and have superior mechanical strength compared to conventional sintered products. The surface is smooth, and the dimensional accuracy of the metal molded products is high. 【Cost Performance】 Over 90% of production is carried out at our wholly-owned overseas factories. We manufacture molds in-house, and depending on the lot size and shape, we offer multiple patterns for mold production, enabling proposals for reducing initial mold costs. 【High-Quality System】 Both domestic and overseas factories are ISO 9001 certified, ensuring a robust management system for quality control. With domestic staff stationed on-site, we have extensive experience in educating local staff and managing factory operations over many years. 【Risk Management】 We have multiple base factories in Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, and Colombia, which reduces dependency on a single factory. This broadens our options for response in emergency situations and contributes to stable supply.

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.
