Moldless lost-wax casting "Digital Cast" and metal 3D printing "Digital Sinter," what is the optimal solution for your needs?
★Comparison of the Differences and Advantages between Moldless Casting 'Digital Cast' and Metal 3D Printing 'Digital Sinter'! In recent years, manufacturing technologies for metal parts have evolved dramatically. Moldless casting methods and metal 3D printing are particularly attracting attention in our technology category. 【Advantages of Moldless Casting: Digital Cast】 ■Short Lead Times The lead time is just 2 weeks (with the shortest record being within 5 days). This helps shorten development periods and construction timelines. ■Wide Range of Metal Materials Digital Cast allows for the selection of over 70 types of materials (casting materials). It can accommodate a wide range of needs, including iron, stainless steel, aluminum, copper (including pure copper), special alloys (such as duralumin A7075 and Inconel), heat-resistant steel, tool steel, and high-speed steel. This provides designers with more flexible options. ■Manufacturing Capable of Small to Medium and Large Parts It can handle sizes up to 500 mm square, making it ideal for manufacturing small to medium and large parts. ■Rational Prototype Verification with an Eye on Mass Production Casting For mass production repeats, products are formed using the lost-wax precision casting method (our foundational technology), and prototype verification with similar cast products before manufacturing is a rational verification method in terms of evaluating mechanical properties (such as strength confirmation).

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.
