Zero mold cost for rapid casting. Leave your prototype and development parts to us!
【Manufacturing Method】 Digital Cast (Moldless Casting) 【Content】 This is an example used for vehicle development prototypes. In the process of new development, prototype verification is conducted before mass production! By using Digital Cast, not only can the initial costs associated with mold production be reduced, but quality concerns after mold creation can also be alleviated. 【What is Digital Cast?】 It is a manufacturing method that involves creating a resin model with a 3D printer and then producing metal products through a process similar to lost-wax precision casting using that model as a prototype. Castings can be handled in as little as one week, starting from just one piece. We offer proposals that provide benefits even in development and prototyping. We also accommodate custom orders from individual customers.

Applications/Examples of results
【Examples】 Industrial machinery, semiconductor parts, golf club heads, turbochargers, prototype verification of complex shapes, strength verification of cast products, prototype verification with material changes, original parts manufacturing. 【Example Details】 ■80% Cost Reduction GG Manifold (Aerospace Component) Two parts were manufactured through machining and welded together. Due to the special material, they were sourced from overseas processing companies, resulting 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 increased strength. Material: Inconel 625, Conventional Method: Machining + Welding ■Short Delivery Time Turbine Impeller Parts (Industrial Turbine) For large parts with a diameter of 380mm, traditional methods required 1 to 2 months for mold production, but with the digital casting method, cast products can be made without molds, significantly improving delivery times. Additionally, it can accommodate special materials such as heat-resistant steel and duralumin. Material: SCS13 ■Prototype Verification Vehicle Development Prototypes (Next-Generation Mobility) The initial costs of 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

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.
