**Lost Wax Precision Casting by Castem** - Capable of mass-producing complex and hollow shapes at low cost. - Strength can be freely pursued from two aspects: shape and material. - Over 70 types of steel can be freely selected, including special steel, stainless steel, copper alloys, and ultra-high-strength aluminum materials (A7075). - Offers higher precision compared to other casting methods, reducing the number of machining processes. The image shows an example where parts that were traditionally manufactured through machining were switched to lost wax precision casting, leading to **weight reduction and cost savings**. The transition to casting improved mass production capabilities. Unnecessary areas were thinned out, also reducing material costs. Lost wax precision casting excels in producing hollow and complex three-dimensional shapes. We carefully listen to your concerns regarding metal parts and propose the optimal shape. In the example, we reduced the machining area by incorporating fillets (thinning) during the design phase, leading to cost reduction. By making only the functional areas convex, we minimized the machining and management scope. We achieved a shape that is effective in maintaining quality. Depending on the application and size, we can also propose other manufacturing methods such as MIM (Metal Injection Molding), which excels in thin-walled small parts, and mold-less casting digital cast, which is perfect for prototypes starting from 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.
