[Castem Co., Ltd.] Introducing low-cost die-less casting and MIM. We will exhibit at the Manufacturing World [Tokyo] Machine Elements Technology Exhibition.

Lost wax precision casting × 3D printing allows for the creation of hollow and complex three-dimensional shapes. Compatible with a variety of steel types.

We can quickly provide parts that have become urgently necessary using our mold-free casting method, "Digital Cast." The key points of Digital Cast are as follows: ✅ Fastest delivery time is 1 week ✅ Over 70 types of materials (casting materials) available ✅ Production possible from just one piece ✅ No mold costs We also welcome inquiries for prototypes and small-lot production with an eye toward mass production! We will flexibly respond to your needs, so if you have parts under consideration for weight reduction or shape changes, please feel free to contact us. 【What is Digital Cast?】 A method that creates resin models using a 3D printer and then produces metal products in a process similar to lost-wax precision casting, using those models as prototypes. We can accommodate castings in as little as 1 week, starting from just one piece. We will provide proposals that offer advantages even in development and prototyping. If you have parts under consideration for weight reduction or shape changes, please feel free to consult with us.

Screws are also shaped without machining! Leave the fine, thin-walled, and complex-shaped micro metal parts to us.

MIM (Metal Injection Molding) is a technology for manufacturing metal parts by mixing metal powder and binder, injecting them into a mold, and finally sintering them. ✅ Capable of producing fine, complex shapes and sharp edges with a minimum wall thickness of 0.1mm. ✅ Can mold screws and ultra-fine pins without machining. ✅ Proven track record in medical devices, dental, food, and aerospace-related parts. ✅ Consistent production system from mold making to processing such as plating in-house. ✅ Both domestic and overseas factories have obtained ISO9001 certification, ensuring reliable quality management. With ultra-fine molding technology, we can also create miniature tools that move just like the real thing, measuring 25mm in length. (Such as scissors, calipers, cutters, etc.) From limited small lot products to repeat mass production, we can propose mold cost plans tailored to your needs. We have also succeeded in reducing costs through bold design changes from the mold making stage with in-house production. Please feel free to contact us through our website.

Proven track record in medical device components and aerospace components. Also compatible with titanium.

Castem's MIM (Metal Injection Molding) has a proven track record in medical device components and aerospace parts. The photo shows screw parts related to aerospace (material 64Ti, Φ12). The example product is a molded part with no machining on the screw section, which helps reduce costs. "Want to prototype but mold costs are high and not suitable for small lots" or "There are few compatible materials"—do you have such an impression? With Castem's "Try and Make Molds" for up to 50 shots, you can prototype MIM products starting from a mold cost of 190,000 yen. *Conditions apply; please contact us for details. 【Features of Castem's MIM】 ■ Proposals for mold cost plans that meet demands from limited small lots to mass production repeat items. ■ We have a system in place to manage the entire process from mold creation to processing in-house. ■ Skilled in producing fine, complex shapes and sharp edge reproductions with a minimum wall thickness of 0.1mm. ■ All processes, including precision machining, heat treatment, and plating, are integrated into a single production line.

Hollow and complex three-dimensional shapes / Cost reduction / Reduction of processes / Compatibility with a variety of steel types… Introducing the strengths of lost-wax precision casting.

The lost wax precision casting method involves injecting wax into a mold to create a product model, coating it with ceramic to form a casting mold, and then casting to produce metal parts. Its strengths are as follows: ✅ Hollow and complex three-dimensional shapes ✅ A diverse selection of over 70 steel types (including iron, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, and special materials such as super duralumin) ✅ Cost reduction achieved through meat removal considering productivity ✅ Time savings through reduced number of processes ✅ Small lot production of various types (from dozens to thousands per lot) ✅ Affordable aluminum molds that can be used semi-permanently ✅ Capable of handling large items from a few grams to 30 kg (preferred size is 30 to φ300 mm) "I want to integrate multiple parts," "I want to increase strength," "I want to reduce costs compared to machining." "Machining and welding require multiple processes for a single part, leading to increased costs and time..." We propose optimal materials, shapes, and methods tailored to your concerns and requests. *For a list of materials and tolerance tables, click here* →https://www.castem.co.jp/technology/lostwax/ Please feel free to consult us through our website.

The "Hotron Non-Contact Switch" allows you to open and close doors without directly touching door knobs or switches, making it hygienic! You can choose from two types: the "Hand Wave Sensor," which only requires you to wave your hand, and the "Foot Switch," which only requires you to place your foot in front of it. It reduces the risk of virus and bacteria transmission in places where hygiene is a concern, such as food factories, restaurants, hospitals, and nursing facilities. 【Features】 ○ Reduces the risk of virus transmission by allowing door operation without contact ○ A wide variety of options to choose from based on application and location ○ Ideal for places where hygiene is a priority, such as food factories and medical facilities ○ Prevents unnecessary detection due to the switch mechanism 【Product Lineup】 ■ Hand Wave Sensor Series ○ Exposed waterproof type, front, down, and side-facing type "PF-R5" ○ Exposed type, front-facing type "PF-R1" ○ Embedded type, front-facing type "PF-U2" ○ Exposed type, downward wide type "PF-R4" ■ Foot Switch Series ○ Slim type with wide opening, vertical beam type "PF-01S" ○ Slim type with wide opening, horizontal beam type "PF-03S" ○ Standard type, horizontal beam type "PF-05" ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

In recent years, with the outbreak of infectious diseases, there has been a demand for products that cater to "contactless operation," and this trend has extended to environments where automatic doors were previously operated by touch switches. As the automation of doors and the non-contact operation of automatic doors become more widespread, do you have any of the following concerns? ☑ Although automatic doors have been installed, they remain open due to people crossing frequently in busy areas. ☑ Touch switches have been introduced to reduce unnecessary openings and closings, but hygiene is a concern. ☑ Touch switches require regular battery replacements since they are powered. The light beam touch sensor "HA-T401" opens and closes automatic doors without contact, and its compact detection range makes it suitable for narrow passages and busy areas, contributing to energy savings and infection control. 【Benefits of Implementation】 ○ Adaptable to various door types with four spot settings, ideal for busy roads and narrow passages. ○ Energy-saving effects with two setting modes that reduce unnecessary openings and closings of automatic doors. ○ Equipped with a light beam touch function, allowing doors to open and close simply by waving a hand, ensuring hygiene. ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

An article has been published about the case of introducing the expense reimbursement system "Rakuraku Seisan" at TSP Corporation. ~ In the case of TSP ~ Before the introduction, there were challenges such as dealing with the "paper" sent from various locations and the reliance on specific individuals for the tasks. After the introduction, the input and checking of FB data, which used to take 2 to 3 hours, can now be completed in just 5 minutes. Additionally, the mindset of the accounting department, which was previously reliant on manual entry, has changed. [Case Overview] ■ Challenges before introduction - Dealing with "paper" sent from various locations, reliance on specific individuals ■ Key points of introduction - A robust support system for setup and operation - Easy to start from a small scale both financially and functionally *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
