3D printer made by SLM Solutions, Germany

Aichi Sangyo (Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo) and Shibaura Institute of Technology have started a joint research project to manufacture mass-produced products using metal 3D printers. Aichi Sangyo (Shinagawa, Tokyo) and Shibaura Institute of Technology have started a joint research project to manufacture mass-produced products using metal 3D printers.

In Japan, 3D printers are mostly used for prototyping and development, but not for mass production, because of the risk of internal problems during molding and the low accuracy of surface finish. Measurement and evaluation methods for processed materials have not been established in Japan. Therefore, through joint research, they will try to solve these problems.
