Prototype = A choice of digital casting without molds that overturns the common sense of cutting.
To the procurement personnel who have been doing casting prototypes only through machining: It might be possible to do it more easily, quickly, and cheaply with casting.
To engineers who have only prototyped through machining. That shape might be easier, faster, and cheaper to produce through casting. ✅ Mold cost: 0 yen ✅ Support from 1 piece ✅ Difficult-to-machine materials like Inconel and A7075 are also acceptable ✅ Over 1,000 successful implementations Changing the common belief that "prototyping = machining," 【Digital Cast】 will be your next option. 【What is Digital Cast?】 A method of producing metal products using a 3D printer to create a resin model, which serves as a prototype, 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.

basic information
**Digital Cast of Castem** ■ Process 1. 3D Printing Shape the model using a 3D printer (resin material). 2. Ceramic Coating Coat the wax tree with ceramic liquid and powder in approximately 4 to 6 layers. 3. Mold Firing Completely eliminate the 3D printed model at high temperatures to fire the ceramic mold. 4. Casting Pour molten metal into the mold. ■ Compatible Sizes Up to 500 mm square. ■ Steel Types We can accommodate a wide range of needs, including iron, stainless steel, aluminum, copper (including pure copper), special alloys (such as duralumin A7075 and nickel alloys), heat-resistant steel, tool steel, and high-speed steel.

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.
