日南 List of Products and Services

In Nichinan, we perform surface treatments such as painting, printing, laser engraving, and anodizing. For deposition (sputtering), we use a dry plating device that applies a plating-like treatment without exposing the object to liquids or high temperatures, allowing for quick delivery and low costs. We also engage in sewing, where our experienced sewing artisans bring to life the desired expressions in terms of fabric, leather, thread color and thickness, and stitching details. 【Surface Treatments】 ■ Painting ■ Printing ■ Laser Engraving ■ Anodizing ■ Deposition (Sputtering) ■ Sewing *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Our company specializes in "parts manufacturing," including resin processing, metal processing, casting, 3D printing, and surface treatment. We accept orders for parts starting from design to surface treatment, even for single pieces. Additionally, after completing mass production design, we prototype all component parts and housing parts, incorporating internal circuit boards, mechanical parts, and electrical components. We also conduct parts manufacturing for technical study prototype models to verify productivity and safety before mass production, referred to as "pre-production." We take pride in our extensive NC machinery, allowing us to provide a wide variety of parts in large quantities within a short period. 【Business Activities】 ■ Parts Manufacturing: Resin processing, metal processing, casting, 3D printing, surface treatment ■ Pre-Production: Prototype models for technical study just before commercialization *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
