Additive Manufacturing (= AM for short) is one processing method for building 3D objects by adding layer-upon-layer of material.
RABITT PROTOTYPE, which handles a wide range of businesses using AM in fields such as industrial products and medical products in Thailand, held an "Additive Manufacturing Conference 2020" at BITEC.
At the conference, presentations were made on AM technologies that are constantly evolving, such as "AM for Automation", "Impact of AM in Thai Manufacturing", "Next Generation 3D Printer", and "3D Printing Technology in Medical Care".
Two companies served as the last presenters: YN2-TECH, led by MD Ryota Nakamura, and CASTEM (Siam) (hereinafter referred to as Castem Thailand), a Thai subsidiary of Castem Co., Ltd., a company that manufactures lost wax and precision cast metal parts which often featured in the Japanese and Thai media.
Under the title of a New generation of manufacturing – Japanese innovation case, the cases of AM, mainly in Japan, were introduced.
AM is a term that is still not widely recognized, but it refers to all technologies, such as processing methods using 3D printers, which are also described in the item of "Thailand 4.0 *1" promoted by the Thai government.
Although AM has a very short history, starting with 3D printers that appeared in the United States in the late 1990s, it has become an indispensable device (equipment) for prototyping applications in the manufacturing industry. It is also used in the production of final products (parts) that do not use molds.
