Achieving lower costs than cutting processes! The production of three-dimensional products using PEEK (polyether ether ketone) is realized with a 3D printer!

In the production of three-dimensional products using PEEK (polyether ether ketone), injection molding is the mainstream method for large lots, while machining is predominant for small lots. For three-dimensional products made of PEEK, we have started contract processing using FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printers with PEEK filaments manufactured by our company. This significantly reduces waste and allows for cost reduction. Additionally, with 3D printing, it is possible to create hollow or honeycomb structures internally, enabling material cost reduction and weight savings compared to machining, which can only produce solid forms. 【Features】 - Weight Reduction: It is possible to achieve weight savings by creating hollow or honeycomb structures! - Cost Efficiency: There is no material waste from machining, making it cost-effective! - Precision: Production is possible at the intermediate level of JISB0405! (Consultation required) - Innovation: Production using the FDM method allows for shapes that cannot be achieved through machining! *Please inquire as there may be limitations based on the shape. *If we are unable to produce after receiving an order, we will not charge for the costs incurred. For more details, please download the catalog or contact us directly.

Proposal for problem-solving with the introduction of 3D printers! Introducing examples of cost reduction in mass production.

Our company has introduced 3D printers and primarily offers products related to extrusion molding from design to mass production. We received a request for airtight pieces for building components. Due to the small lot size, it was difficult to amortize the investment in molds, so we proposed a method of creating a simple mold using polylactic acid, filling it with room-temperature curing silicone rubber, and allowing it to cure. 【Case Study】 ■ Material: Silicone Rubber ■ Initial Investment Amount (Press Mold Cost): ¥150,000 ■ Product Cost: ¥1,000 (for a lot of 5) ↓ 《Creating a mold frame with a 3D printer and molding room-temperature curing silicone》 ↓ ↓ ■ Material: Mold: Polylactic Acid, Product: Silicone Rubber ■ Prototyping Cost: Mold: ¥15,000, Product: ¥1,000 (for a lot of 5) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Proposal for problem-solving with the introduction of 3D printers! Introducing examples of cost reduction in prototyping.

Our company has introduced 3D printers and primarily offers products related to extrusion molding from design to mass production. We received a request for machine parts. The instruction was for a gel gasket, but to check the fit, we created a rigid part approximately 20mm in length using polylactic acid and attached a separately made gel for prototyping. 【Case Study】 ■ Material 1: Gel gasket (PP + gel), 2: PP ■ Initial investment amount (extrusion mold cost): ¥530,000- ↓ 《Created the insertion part and fitting part with a 3D printer, and made the HOTTY gel separately to attach》 ↓ ↓ ■ Material 1: Polylactic acid + HOTTY gel, 2: Polylactic acid ■ Prototyping cost: ¥90,000- *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Proposal for problem-solving with the introduction of 3D printers! Introducing examples of prototype cost reduction.

Our company has introduced 3D printers and primarily offers products related to extrusion molding from design to mass production. We received a request for a water-stopping material for bathroom components. We proposed a shape that is easy to extrude, created a mold using polylactic acid, and injected room-temperature curing silicone. We created an extrusion sample of approximately 150mm in length and proposed the corner conformity. [Case Study] ■ Material: EPDM Sponge ■ Initial investment (extrusion mold cost): ¥60,000 ↓ 《Created a mold with a 3D printer and formed room-temperature curing silicone》 ↓ ↓ ■ Material: Polylactic Acid + Silicone Rubber ■ Prototype cost: ¥10,000 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Proposal for problem-solving with the introduction of 3D printers! Examples of improved inspection efficiency and standardized inspection levels.

Our company has introduced 3D printers and primarily offers products related to extrusion molding from design to mass production. For products that we have received orders for in mass production, we propose inspection jigs to improve inspection efficiency and standardize the inspection level between both companies. We have received very positive feedback for the ease of inspection, and we are currently utilizing this approach. We created blocks using a 3D printer and assembled them to enhance usability.

One of the largest in Kanto!! If you are planning to introduce a 3D printer, please come and visit us!

In November 2021, we opened a showroom for 3D printers at the Hotti Polymer factory in Kuki, Saitama. Focusing on the MEX method, it is possible to view various types of 3D printers, including light curing and LAM (liquid additive manufacturing), as well as models from different manufacturers within the same method all at once. Additionally, you can also see our in-house printer "Silicom," which can create 100% silicone rubber, a rarity even on a global scale. We invite you to visit us. 【Exhibited 3D Printers】 ■ MEX (resin extrusion additive manufacturing) 3D printer ■ Light curing LCD method (transmissive liquid crystal method) 3D printer ■ Light curing SLA method (laser method) 3D printer ■ LAM (liquid additive manufacturing) 3D printer ■ Poly Jet (inkjet) method 3D printer * New models will be added as they become available. * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Expanding the possibilities of 3D printers! Engineering software with various features.

nTopology is software that integrates with existing CAD/CAM systems to realize engineering flows that include topology optimization and more. In recent years, with the advancement of 3D printing, there has been a demand for designs that leverage the high degree of manufacturing characteristics unique to additive manufacturing (DfAM - Design for Additive Manufacturing), compared to traditional processing methods. This product allows for the incorporation of functional shapes derived from existing CAD systems and enables output to various formats using parameters defined by tools like Excel.

Revolutionary! Soft filament usable with universal FDM 3D printers.

The "HP Filament (Super Flexible Type)" is a soft filament created from a unique blend of polylactic acid and elastomer. While it is soft, it has a core that is close to that of a hard filament, and it does not stretch like typical soft materials, making it suitable as a filament for FDM 3D printers. 【Features】 ■ Flexibility: Capable of creating highly flexible objects ■ Stability: Allows for stable and high-precision modeling ■ Functionality: Can be used as support material, etc., depending on the settings ■ Colorability: Can be colored *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Seminar Overview As the labor shortage in manufacturing sites becomes more severe, the labor costs and time losses associated with the "transportation" of products and components, as well as "cleaning" within factories, have become critical management issues that cannot be overlooked. In this webinar, we will introduce the latest use cases of "Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR)" and "Commercial Cleaning Robots" that achieve productivity improvements in manufacturing environments. We will specifically address questions such as "How are other companies operating these technologies?" and "What kind of cost reduction effects can be expected after implementation?" by providing concrete explanations of actual before-and-after scenarios and operational flows. Factory managers and members of production technology and DX promotion departments who want to advance automation and efficiency on-site are encouraged to participate! Recommended for: - Those who are unsure about where to start with automation, labor reduction, and DX in their factories. - Those who want to alleviate labor shortages on-site and focus resources on core operations to improve productivity. - Those who want to stay updated on the latest trends in the use of transportation robots (AMR) and cleaning robots.
