[Case Study] Achieving Short Lead Times and Small Lot Prototyping with a Sheet Chocolate Method Without Molds

We will introduce examples that contributed to reducing development costs by avoiding unnecessary mold production!

We would like to introduce examples of processing using Mizuho Industry's unique "plate chocolate manufacturing method." Our customers faced challenges such as a high demand for comparing multiple insert shapes during the development stage, and the conventional mold manufacturing process being geared towards mass production, making it unsuitable for small lot production. After processing at our company, we significantly shortened the development lead time, allowing for efficient comparison and evaluation of multiple insert shapes. We were able to verify processing characteristics such as cutting resistance and chip discharge in advance during the small lot prototype stage. [Challenges and Background] - There is a high demand for comparing multiple insert shapes during the development stage. - Conventional mold manufacturing is based on mass production, making it unsuitable for small lot production. - Mold production requires time and cost, making it difficult to prototype multiple shapes within a short development lead time. - Insufficient design verification and cutting evaluation led to decreased development efficiency. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*
