Lost wax precision casting: Cost reduction through optimal shape modification and integration.
We propose optimal shapes tailored to needs such as cost reduction and weight reduction.
The image is an example of cost reduction achieved through the transition to lost-wax precision casting. In the conventional method, production involved multiple processes such as laser cutting, bending, machining, and welding, but we proposed integration through the lost-wax method. Since it can be produced using a single method, it eliminates the hassle of managing processes, reduces machining through integration, and increases strength. Additionally, by checking the contact surface with the object and making that part convex, we have reduced the dimensional management range, making quality control easier. ■Product Details Material: SCS13 (precision casting) Size: 132×100×87 Weight: 763g Thickness: 3.5–5mm Machining: Blue surface 【Castem's Lost-Wax Method】 "Lost-wax precision casting" specializes in hollow and complex three-dimensional shapes. Since our founding, we have continued to respond to customer inquiries for manufacturing from simple shapes to complex ones, with a track record of over 35,000 types of precision metal parts across various industrial fields. Based on our accumulated experience and careful listening to our customers, we propose optimal shapes tailored to needs such as cost reduction and weight reduction.

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.
