    Once the target product has been decided, the next step is to examine the shape of the product using a metallic 3D printer.

    Please provide us with the necessary data, and we will have concrete suggestions

    <Data to be provided>
    ■ In the case of parts modeling
    We will receive the modeling data for the three-dimensional CAD and consider the formative plan.

    ■ Case of die molding
    Data for articles (3D models, drawings)
    Data on existing dies (3D models, drawings)
    Forming Data (Forming Condition Table)
    We will proceed with the design and analysis based on these data.

  3. Submission of quotations and proposals
  4. Orders for test models

    After signing off on our proposal, mold tests will begin.
    We will continue to share progress of it as needed.
