Achieving effective production for high-mix low-volume orders.

Utilizing Mimaki products and process management system, the company achieves labor-saving, automated and visualized in production processes.

Achieving effective production for large-lot print orders.

The company installs the large flatbed inkjet printers, JFX-1615 plus and JFX200-2513, to achieve efficient printing for large-lot orders. Further, the unique jig plate also enhances the efficient printing.

To expand our business into new fields, we must install products that are made with reliable technologies and supported by secure technical service to meet large-volume orders in short delivery times.

Mimaki products satisfies various customer demands and enables the in-house manufacturing of various products. In addition, the increased productivity brought by these products allows us to fulfill large-volume orders in short delivery times. The company is planning to increase its investment in facilities and equipment.

I started my 3D business with monochromatic 3D printers, but was struggling to keep up with demand due to the amount of post processing involved to add color. We examined a powder based full-color 3D printer, but found that the material was too fragile and the color faded within one year, so we decided it wasn't the right option for us.

The introduction of 3DUJ-553 eliminated the need for manual coloring work and made it possible to create molded objects in a short time with materials that had rich color expression.

We were looking for 3D printers capable of outputting high definition 3D data created in the office for use in explaining construction processes to our clients.

The model prototypes were extremely popular and we successfully landed requests for proposals. As 3D printers can reproduce models cheaply in diverse scales, they are better than outsourcing hand-crafted models, and we are confident they will become indispensable as effective business tools.

Although the company already had a full-color 3D printer, the plaster-based type needed to go through processes that almost required artisan skills such as polishing and re-coloring for modeled objects before they become products.

3DUJ-553 has enabled more than 10-million color representation that is fine in details, in addition to real, delicate expression that needs no re-coloring. As the support material is water-soluble, we can remove it easily by soaking the object in water, which allows us to work on details to the last minute, enabling a wider range of expression than ever before.

Although we already had a plaster-based full-color 3D printer, we did not accept orders with colors because it was extremely difficult to finish the works with colors satisfactory to clients. However, our valued client requested us to deliver figures finished with colors.

3DUJ-553 is highly valued by clients for its excellent color reproducibility. Because there is no need to provide coloring experts and thus 3D-printed products can be delivered as finished items, the company has propelled the business a step ahead without making unnecessary investment.
