Latest molding technologies

Our facilities are equipped with a diverse assortment of molding technologies, enabling us to manufacture various types of products. Here thence,we will introduce our three key features along with our manufacturing and development achievements.

Fusion of different materials

Contribution for product development through combinations of different materials

• Using MMP (Mold Master Plate) sandwich molding, we have developed eco benches across Japan with foaming material from supermarkets which are used for the core layer.
  Through such initiatives, we have been contributing to society in meeting the SDGs. Furthermore, using MMP applied bicolor molding technology which enables the use of different materials on a section of products, we are able to manufacture single types of molds with added features.
• “POLYMETAC” or “Plastic Metal Composite (PMC)” is a technology that takes advantage of the properties of metals and resins to bond them into one. Replacing portions of metal components with resin can reduce weight and even enhance design properties.

Challenging new technologies/techniques in demand around the world

Potential for solutions to issues with various products

• It is extremely difficult to make a large-sized (2,000mm×1,400mm) molded product with a transparent thick wall (13 mm). However, we can create molded parts with no distortion using our molds for injection molding.
• In-mold molding and Multi-Injection Molding (MIP) require advanced technology to mold multiple materials (glass, film, PEF, etc.) in a mold. Our molds can be used in various combinations.
• Air-molded and aqua-molded parts it possible to create hollow molded articles with complex shapes, resulting in products with lighter weight, higher rigidity, and free from shrink marks.

Enabling the creation of lightweight and high strength plastics

We possess prototypes dedicated to meeting the need for lightweight and high strength products.

• Foam molding (MuCell and Core Back) creates a minute fine microcell structure inside resin, helping improve accuracy as well as reduce weight.
• Injection molding of longer fibers [Long Fibers Injection Molding] (D-LFT) can improve strength and reduce weight by maintaining carbon fibers and glass fibers for a long period of time.
• Innovative composite molding technologies can improve strength and reduce weight as a substitute for metal by molding materials such as carbon fibers, UD tape, cellulose (CNF), etc. with resin. (HPRTM, CSMC, CFRP)

Technology development (industry-government-academia collaboration)

Enhanced development of innovative composite materials through collaboration between industry, government and academia.

We aim to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society through the next generation of manufacturing technologies. This includes the development of lightweight and high strength sustainable products that utilize carbon fibers and cellulose based on academic theory in the field of materials with the potential to reduce the burden on the environment.
