Casting = mass production is a thing of the past. We have entered an era where prototypes can be cast from just one piece using 3D printing and lost-wax precision casting.
"Cast = only mass production" is already outdated. With the advent of mold-less casting digital cast, the reliance on machining for prototype development is beginning to change significantly. ✔ Zero mold cost ✔ Casting in as little as one week ✔ OK for one piece ✔ Supports complex shapes and thin walls ✔ Expanding materials such as A7075 / SCS11 "The only option was machining." Isn't it time to update that common sense? For more details, feel free to contact us below. ↓ https://www.castem.co.jp/contact/

Applications/Examples of results
【Examples】 Industrial machinery, semiconductor components, golf club heads, turbochargers, prototype verification of complex shapes, strength verification of cast products, prototype verification with material changes, original parts manufacturing 【Detailed Examples】 ■Cost Reduction of 80% GG Manifold (Aerospace Component) Two parts were manufactured through machining and then welded together. Due to the use of special materials, they were sourced from overseas processing companies, leading to increased costs. This was resolved with digital casting. With a wide range of compatible materials and integrated molding, there was a significant reduction in costs along with improved quality due to enhanced strength. Material: Inconel 625, Conventional Method: Machining + Welding ■Short Delivery Time Turbine Impeller Parts (Industrial Turbine) For large parts with a diameter of 380mm, traditional methods required 1 to 2 months for mold production. However, with the digital casting method, cast products can be produced without molds, significantly improving delivery times. It is also compatible with special materials such as heat-resistant steel and duralumin. Material: SCS13 ■Prototype Verification Vehicle Development Prototypes (Next-Generation Mobility) The initial costs associated with mold production and quality concerns after mold creation were resolved with digital casting. Verification of cast products was conducted without molds, alleviating quality concerns. Material: FCD

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.
