  • Pre-processing

    We process the exterior appearance and mounting specifications of the mold using various milling machines. In plane polishing, in addition to ensuring accuracy, we also use high-precision polishing machines to perform post-processing to a finished state that meets the forming requirements.

  • Blade forming

    Blades for direct carving are designed by CAD and manufactured in-house. Shapes and numbers of each item are set in cooperation with processing staff.

  • Product processing

    The majority of our machine tooling space is air-conditioned 24 hours a day. We also manage the work site by adjusting humidity, airflow, etc. to ensure mold processing is not adversely impacted.

  • Finish processing

    We carry out final polishing and mold assembly. The work done here determines the finished state of the product and the usability of the mold.

  • Inspection

    Product inspection (measurement) is carried out using various types of measurement equipment as well as human inspection.
    A thorough quality control system is always in place along with inspections between each process step.
