Die-less casting made from a single piece: Verification of integration with the same material as mass production.
Prototype verification of integration with the same material as mass production.
【Conventional Method】 Welding 【Method】 Digital Cast 【Content】 The image shows a railway component that reinforces overhead wires. When integrating what were originally two parts, there was a request to conduct prototype verification using the same material as for mass production. Therefore, we proposed Digital Cast, which allows for manufacturing from a single part without the need for a mold. As requested, we conducted prototype verification using the same material as for mass production, leading to mass production using lost wax casting. 【What is Digital Cast?】 A method that involves creating a resin model with a 3D printer, which is then used as a prototype to produce metal products through a process similar to lost wax precision casting. Castings can be produced in as little as one week, starting from just one piece. We offer proposals that are beneficial even for development and prototyping. If you have parts under consideration for weight reduction or shape changes, please feel free to consult with us. 【Three Features of Digital Cast】 - Shortest delivery time of one week - Mold cost of zero - Capable of manufacturing from just one piece

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.
