Hollow and complex three-dimensional shapes / Cost reduction / Reduction of processes / Compatibility with a variety of steel types… Introducing the strengths of lost-wax precision casting.
The lost wax precision casting method involves injecting wax into a mold to create a product model, coating it with ceramic to form a casting mold, and then casting to produce metal parts. Its strengths are as follows: ✅ Hollow and complex three-dimensional shapes ✅ A diverse selection of over 70 steel types (including iron, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, and special materials such as super duralumin) ✅ Cost reduction achieved through gradual material removal considering productivity ✅ Time savings through a reduction in the number of processes ✅ Small lot production of various types (from dozens to thousands per lot) ✅ Affordable aluminum molds that can be used semi-permanently ✅ Capable of handling items from a few grams to 30 kg (with a specialty size range of 30 to φ300 mm) "If you want to integrate multiple parts," "if you want to increase strength," "if you want to reduce costs compared to machining," "if multiple processes are required for a single part, leading to increased costs and time"… We propose the optimal materials, shapes, and methods tailored to your concerns and requests. *For a list of materials and tolerance tables, click here* → https://www.castem.co.jp/technology/lostwax/ Please feel free to consult us through our website.

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.
