We can accommodate from just one item in as little as two weeks!
**What is Digital Casting?** It is a method of producing metal products by creating resin models with a 3D printer and using them as prototypes, similar to the lost-wax process. We offer advantageous proposals for development and prototyping that require no molds and are suitable for ultra-small lot production. We can respond to casting requests in as little as two weeks, starting from just one piece, and we can provide beneficial proposals for development and prototyping. We also accommodate custom orders for individual customers' metal products! **Features of Digital Casting** 1. No mold production is required, eliminating mold costs typical in conventional lost-wax processes. 2. Difficult-to-machine items can be cast from just one piece without mold costs. 3. No mold production is needed, allowing for shortened lead times with examples of responses in as little as two weeks. 4. Proficient in complex three-dimensional shapes. 5. Supports a wide range of materials including iron, stainless steel, copper, and aluminum.

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.
