Also, currently, it can only be manufactured technically in Japan.
CHALLENGE: The most difficult point was realize the molding of the world's thinnest and ultra-fine pattern by sand mold.
At the same time as creating a nylon resin design mockup with a 3D printer, a Japanese traditional southern iron-like atmosphere was created, and as a result, development of products and design of the world's thinnest cast iron product by sand mold was started.
1. Emergence of new markets such as B to B and B to C
