Stress relief through fishing! Helping to bring ideas to life.
We have been involved in the development of the idea "Negakari Bouzu" by Mr. Nakama of Organizational Reform Co., Ltd. 【What is "Negakari Bouzu"?】 A product created to prevent snagging of lures and tackle used in fishing. It is a revolutionary mechanism that can remove snagged hooks by applying force in the opposite direction of the line using a spring. 【Development Background】 The structure uses a spring to apply force in the opposite direction, aiming to reduce environmental impact, costs, and angler stress. Mr. Nakama, who had no experience in manufacturing metal products, collaborated with Castem to develop the product based on a prototype made from paper clay. 1. Shape modification to reduce weight while maintaining strength 2. Design optimization through flow analysis considering the characteristics of casting 3. Design innovations to reduce post-processing such as hole machining Utilizing the casting method "Digital Cast" with a 3D printer, we achieved rapid prototyping without molds. 【From Personal Idea to Market】 A personal idea has been realized through Digital Cast technology and progressed to market deployment. Castem is not just a manufacturing contractor; we are committed to being "the best partner for our customers" and fully support the realization of ideas.

Company information
With a posture of "just half a step" without complacency, we have cultivated "lost wax precision casting" over many years. In 1991, we obtained a U.S. patent for "MIM (Metal Injection Molding)." Utilizing 3D printing technology, we offer next-generation precision casting technology called "Digital Cast." We provide optimal proposals through various technologies! We thoroughly support our customers' manufacturing processes! 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-house. 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 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 associated with consideration time and product costs. More than half a century ago, Castem's casting began with handmade machine tools. Today, we have become a company with the top domestic share in the manufacturing of general industrial parts using lost wax and are also engaged in the production of micro lenses and micro needles using the world's highest precision 3D light shaping technology.
