In addition, the company invested more than 300 million JPY (almost $3 million USD) on machines including a 5-axis machining center (MC), 3-axis MC, and heat treatment furnace for post-processing.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, some customers had metal 3D printed insert p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>s made and the company had turned to external service providers since they did not have the equipment in-house. \u201cThe need for insert p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>s using metal 3D printers is increasing, and I felt it was necessary eventually,\u201d said Masato Matsubara, Managing Director.<\/p>\n<p>The opportunity for full-scale entry was that it became possible to model with materials equivalent to SKD61. Matsubara said, \u201cMaraging steel has been common until now, but I felt that the range of <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/insights\/applications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">application<\/a>s not only for insert p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>s but also for mold making would expand if it was equivalent to SKD61.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #eaeaea7a;padding: 15px 30px;align-items: center;border-radius: 4px;margin-top: 1em;margin-bottom: 1em\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1;padding-right: 30px\">\n<h4 style=\"margin-bottom: 14px\">Manufacturing on Demand<\/h4>\n<div>Realize your creation with full capabilities, expand your business from prototyping to mass production.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"background-color: #0baee8;color: white;padding: 10px 20px;border-radius: 4px\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa-fw auxicon auxicon-cloud-upload\"><\/i> Get Quote<\/a><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/169280980222109416.jpeg\" class=\"aligncenter\">   Touring Innovation (Moriyama-ku, Aichi Prefecture), which is the company\u2019s manufacturing subsidiary handling trade and mold consulting and will host the two metal AM systems from GE.   <\/p>\n<p>After hearing about SKD61 equivalent materials in mid-February, Nippon Seiki decided to install equipment in April. \u201cThere is no doubt that a metal 3D printer will be needed to make molds. At that time, it is not interesting to be a latecomer. It is necessary to accumulate know-how ahead of other companies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The metal 3D printers introduced this time are intended to be used specifically in the modeling of SKD61 equivalent materials and will st<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a> with the modeling of insert p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>s. The reason is \u201c[when dealing with multiple materials] it takes too much time to replace the powder, and we are proposing to replace maraging steel with SKD61 equivalent material.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The initial aim is not to make the final p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>s themselves, but to strengthen the proposals to the design area and to lead to structural changes in the industry. Matsubara said, \u201cThe most important area in mold making today is the design area. If the adoption of p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>s made with metal 3D printers becomes widespread, it will be necessary to review the design of the entire mold. If it can be integrated with mold technology, we can propose it to the design area. In addition, it is necessary to handle not only design but also processing, heat treatment, and analysis in total.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Story via Kanagata Shinbun<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"font-size: 16px;border-left: 4px solid #cdcdcd;border-radius: 4px;background-color: #f9f9f9;font-weight: 500;color: dimgrey\">\n<h5 style=\"margin-bottom: 6px\">You might also like:<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voxelmatters.com\/made-in-luxembourg-anisoprint-starts-production-in-the-eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Made in Luxembourg: Anisoprint starts production in the EU: <\/a>It has been almost three years since Anisoprint established its headquarters in the EU.
