Full mold casting replaces the wooden pattern with a foam model in the casting.

• Manufacturing process: Model making → Setting in metal frame → Sand filling → Pouring → Casting completed
·merit …
① Significant reduction in lead time
② Complex shapes are possible
③ Flexible response to design changes
④ Reduction of total costs
• Materials processed: FC, FCD, cast iron, cast steel

Kimura Foundry's Plus Alpha

• Size: Maximum length 8,200mm x height 2,500mm, unit weight 1kg to 40t
• Machining… Integrated or single-step process, palm-sized to 10m, prototyping to mass production
• Sand-cast 3D printer… Minimum wall thickness of 2mm possible. AC-powered models also available.
Reverse engineering
Custom-made wear-resistant castings and piping.

Kimura Foundry's "What Makes Us Different" SDGs

- Thoroughly utilize leftover materials, and reduce the volume of any remaining polystyrene foam in-house... and repurpose it for recycling businesses.
- Grating pipes using "EG Runner"... Minimal waste generated after casting.
• Extensive use of manipulators… Significantly reduces dust and noise.
Of the approximately 120 female employees, 80% is a field engineer.

Thorough quality control

• Utilization of casting process simulation systems
Flow analysis…appropriate casting temperature setting, runner plan design
Coagulation analysis… Optimal design for runners, thrusters, and chillers.
Stress analysis… Cracking analysis from hot to cold → Proposal for shape modification and construction measures for excess material
• Our own proprietary casting technology + proprietary IT
• Abundant analytical and testing equipment

Forming techniques honed through full-mold casting

• 3D data creation… Transforming no data, sketches, or photos into digital data using ATOS or 3D scanning.
• Size… Styrofoam models can be up to 10m or larger, and cast iron models can be up to 30t.
• Urethane coating: Increases strength and prevents damage and deterioration.
• Examples of use: 3D signs, mockups, etc.

Strengths and Effects of Kimura Reverse Engineering

Strengths: Solid modeling, casting manufacturing, photography, on-site measurement.
• Effects ➡ ① Provision of 3D data and iron castings identical to the actual object.
② Used for structural analysis
③ Product vs. Drawing Comparison
④ Reduce mold warehouse space by converting wooden molds, metal molds, sand molds, etc. into 3D data.
⑤ Save works of art, cultural properties, etc. as 3D data.
⑥ Reflecting the craftsman's skills in 3D data
