Leave it to us for digital casting without molds, from minimal lot sizes to reasonable mass production proposals!

**Moldless Casting: Benefits of Digital Casting** - **Short Lead Time** The lead time is only 2 weeks (with the shortest record being 5 days). This helps shorten development periods and construction times. - **Wide Range of Metal Materials** More than 70 types of materials (casting materials) are available for selection, providing designers with more flexible options. - **Manufacturing Capable of Small to Medium and Large Parts** - **Rational Prototype Verification Aimed at Mass Production** For mass production repeats, we use the lost-wax precision casting method (our foundational technology) to create molds. Conducting prototype verification with similar cast products before manufacturing helps evaluate mechanical properties (such as strength confirmation) in a rational manner. **Metal 3D Printing: Benefits of Digital Sintering** - **Overwhelming Speed** Digital sintering has a lead time of about 1 week (with the shortest record being 2 days), making it very advantageous for urgent prototypes and small-scale production. - **Strong in Manufacturing Complex Shapes and Small Parts** It excels in producing small, complex-shaped parts, making it ideal for small components in medical devices and electronics, as well as for very small development parts. - **Specific Steel Type Compatibility** The materials available for use in Castem are limited to SINTER T (SUS316L) and SINTER D (pure copper, SUS316L, SUS630). This allows for the rapid provision of even difficult-shaped items.

Castem Co., Ltd. Exhibits at Foundry Tech + Expo 2026, Solving Manufacturing Cost, Design, and Procurement Issues at the "Parts Window"

  • Company news

Castem Co., Ltd. will exhibit at the first domestic specialized exhibition for casting-related products and services, "Foundry Tech + Expo 2026," which will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from September 9 (Wednesday) to September 11 (Friday), 2026. We will provide proposals tailored to our customers' challenges from the perspective of "method conversion through three casting methods," addressing familiar issues in manufacturing such as reviewing component costs, improving design flexibility, and responding to small lot procurement. At our booth, we will conduct casting demonstrations that have been well-received in the past, as well as display award-winning works from international casting contests. You will be able to see the potential of casting technology through actual examples. We hope to attract a wide range of attendees from departments such as design, development, procurement, and production technology. If you have any concerns regarding components, please consult the "Component Inquiry" at the Castem booth. Exhibition Name: Foundry Tech + Expo 2026 Dates: September 9 (Wednesday) to September 11 (Friday), 2026, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (until 4:30 PM on the last day) Venue: Tokyo Big Sight (3-11-1 Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo) Exhibit Booth Number: South Hall 4, B011

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.
