Resin Prototype Production
HOME >> Other Prototypes
Our Prototyping
The following prototyping methods are available: FRP, lamination forming by sintering nylon powders, laser photolithography, MC with 3-axis or 5-axis machining (resin and aluminum), vacuum casting mold, reaction injection molding, aluminum casting, and other newly developed methods. Also available are sheet metal working, pipe bending and spinning, and any other types of surface treatment that meet your needs.
NC Machining
We offer high quality and reduced price with our products as a result of our constant cost-cutting effort with our original and integrated system flow and with the method throughout the process from the molding to jig production by our experienced and skilled operators, this is accomplished by combining the accumulated technology and know-how of our partners in the resin prototype production services. On single item machining our mold production technology is best demonstrated in the aluminum machining products. A team of our experts will be assembled for your order in order to meet your requirements for a wide variety of material from general resins to the hard-to-machine resins.
Sheet Metal Working
We have achieved a production method by combining our skills and experiences to offer a cost effective product incorporating your original design concept in the product.
Stereolithography
We have earned our customers’ trust through a network of our expert affiliates to quickly provide you with working models and ZAS model masters available in a wide range of grades and material compositions extending from our present curable resins, (evolved from traditional resin compositions which satisfy grades in various components like tough super heat-resistant resins and tough crystal clear water-resistant resins) to high-functioning resins of close tolerance snap-fitting components.
| Material used | Epoxy, UV Curable Resin, ABS-like Resin, PP-like Resin and others |

Lamination Generation by Sintering Nylon Powders
For working models or various types of master models, we create and implement your design concept with balanced materials for heat resistance and weather resistance and strength by our well-organized technical experts and supply system.
| Material used | Nylon powders (PA2200 or PA12 : Glass 30%) |
|---|---|
| Machine | Selective Laser Sintering System |
| eos／EOSINT P730 | Size:700×380×580mm |

Selective Laser Sintering Process for Powder
1 On a table, resin powder is spread evenly by a roller |
2 The laser is applied, powdered material melts and solidifies |
3 The table is lowered by 0.1 mm and the powder is spread again |
4 Product is laminated with layers of resin by repeating steps from 1 to 3 |
5 Pull the model out by pushing the table up |
FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics)
A Motorcycle Fender
The most desired models are created by a process in which the fiber (with glass or without) is affixed to a wooden mold with a polyester resin, and by the cooperation of our closest affiliate plant which comes up with the best form and best processing steps.
The results can be seen mainly in exterior parts and in the reaction-injection moldings.
Silicon Vacuum Casting
Our process from the time of data creation to model production, small or large, integrated with the network of our affiliate manufacturers, will also best contribute to our customer's desired research and development.
| Material used | Urethane Resin, Epoxy Resin |
|---|---|
| Coloring | Coloring to your specification |
| Surface treatments | Your choice of painting, printing and gilding for your needs.We can offer choices from painting or printing to gilding as you desire |
| Others | We have available 2-color vacuum casting, silicon rubber vacuum casting (including transparent models) and insertion vacuum casting. |
| Max. production size | 2400x1100x900 （unit：mm) |
