Leave the improvement of lead time, cost reduction, and quality measures to us!
The image shows an example of parts made using the lost wax casting method. Traditionally, these were machined parts, but by switching to precision casting with lost wax, we have improved mass production capabilities and achieved lead time reductions. Additionally, by reducing the material weight by over 100g, we have also made cost reductions possible. We are implementing quality measures such as addressing voids by ensuring uniform wall thickness and preventing burrs by creating recesses. ■ Case Details - Transition from SS440 machined parts to SCS14 lost wax products - Size: 84×36×36 - Reduction of over 100g in weight. Cost reduction through material cost savings - Measures against voids and burrs - Preventing burr formation in holes by ensuring that paper does not touch during gate finishing, while maintaining the seating surface for bolts We receive many inquiries from customers considering switching from machining to precision lost wax casting due to cost factors. Depending on the desired size and application of the parts, we can also propose other methods such as MIM (Metal Injection Molding) and digital casting (moldless casting using 3D printed models). For any inquiries regarding metal parts, please feel free to consult with Castem.

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.
