Zero mold cost, casting with the shortest delivery time of one week. Orders can be placed from one piece, making it ideal for prototypes.
【Manufacturing Method】 Digital Cast 【Content】 This is an example of prototype verification conducted in preparation for mass production after changing the procurement source. We proposed testing for lost-wax casting using mold-less digital casting. Additionally, the parts that were originally printed with a laser marker were reproduced with cast lettering, and the finish was confirmed in advance using digital casting. 【What is Digital Cast?】 A manufacturing method that creates resin models with a 3D printer and then produces metal products following 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 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 - Zero mold cost - Production possible from just one piece

basic information
**Digital Cast of Castem** ■ Process 1. 3D Printing Shape the model using a 3D printer (resin material). 2. Ceramic Coating Apply 4 to 6 layers of ceramic liquid and powder to the wax tree. 3. Mold Firing Completely eliminate the 3D printed model at high temperatures to fire the ceramic mold. 4. Casting Pour molten metal into the mold. ■ Supported Sizes Up to 500 mm square. ■ Steel Types We can accommodate a wide range of needs including iron, stainless steel, aluminum, copper (including pure copper), special alloys (such as duralumin A7075 and nickel alloys), heat-resistant steel, tool steel, and high-speed steel.

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.
