Die-less casting made from a single piece: Verification of integration with the same material as mass production.
Prototype verification integrated with the same materials as mass production.
【Conventional Method】 Welding 【Method】 Digital Cast 【Content】 The image shows a railway component that reinforces overhead wires. When integrating what were originally two parts, there was a request to verify using the same material as for mass production during the prototype testing. Therefore, we proposed Digital Cast, which allows for manufacturing from a single part without the need for a mold. As requested, we conducted prototype testing using the same material as for mass production, leading to mass production using lost-wax casting. 【What is Digital Cast?】 A method that involves creating a resin model with a 3D printer and then manufacturing metal products following a process similar to lost-wax precision casting. Castings can be produced in as little as one week, starting from just one piece. We offer proposals that provide advantages even in development and prototyping. If you have parts under consideration for weight reduction or shape changes, please feel free to consult with us. 【Three Features of Digital Cast】 - Shortest delivery time of one week - Mold cost of zero - Production possible from just one piece ↓Insert link to related page↓

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.
