"Business Introduction" Streamlined Bending, Plate Bending, Sheet Metal Processing, Craft Former
Curved bending of aluminum angles and similar materials.
Streamlined bending metal sheet processing craft former
This is an introduction to Yamashita Industrial Co., Ltd., which has one of the nation's leading achievements and experience in the manufacturing of streamlined railway vehicle front structures, as well as internal components of the driver's cab and instrument panels, represented by the Shinkansen. ■ Craft Former - Streamlined, Curved Bending It is possible to bend aluminum angles and L-shaped bent products into curved surfaces. The curved surfaces can reproduce complex shapes such as arches, S-curves, and warps. Instagram (search for Yamashita Industrial Co., Ltd.)

Company information
This is a company that was established the year before the opening of the Tōkaidō Shinkansen to manufacture the front body structure (the "face" part) of Shinkansen trains. As a certified cooperative factory of the Hitachi Group's vehicle production base, Hitachi Works Kasado (in Shimonoseki City), it has been engaged in sheet metal processing of railway vehicle parts, including the front body structure, internal components of the driver's cab, and control panels for half a century, with a manufacturing record of over 400 vehicles across 24 models from the 0 series to the latest E7 series of Shinkansen. The craftsmanship that creates various single items and small quantities of metal products, which can be considered art composed of three-dimensional curved surfaces, using general-purpose machines and simple tools without dedicated molds, is highly regarded. The company also produces new products in different fields by applying its technology, such as prototype jigs for next-generation supersonic aircraft development for the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. They are also challenging the production of design and art pieces and monuments utilizing their skills in stamping and aluminum welding. Notable achievements include the production of a 0 series object, a Kasado flounder object, and a sheet metal Choru-ru (a local mascot from Yamaguchi Prefecture). Currently, modeling using 3D CAD and simulations with 3D printers have become possible, allowing for orders to be placed using 3D data.
