Services Offered by Taiga
We are a one-stop shop for the entire 3D printing process, from design and development to manufacturing, post-processing, and quality control. For 3D printing processing, leave it to Taiga.
3D printing process is a technology to form three-dimensional objects by layering resin materials based on digital data. Instead of cutting out materials as in the conventional cutting process, materials are layered only in the necessary areas, enabling objects with complex shapes to be formed in one piece. This technology is used for various applications such as prototype production, small-lot production, and customization, because it enables speedy molding of objects with complex shapes that have been difficult to produce with conventional processing methods.
Since there is no need for initial investments like molds, prototypes can be produced at a low cost and in a short period of time. The process is also flexible, allowing for easy design changes, and repeated prototyping and improvements can accelerate the development of better products. At Taiga, we are also flexible in accommodating design changes and secondary processing.
3D printing enables the creation of complex shapes and internal structures that are difficult to achieve with traditional machining or injection molding. It is ideal for creating lightweight parts with hollow structures, intricate lattice designs, and customized medical implants tailored to individual body types, making it easy to handle complex designs and customization.
Compared to traditional manufacturing methods, the process can simplify production steps. This leads to reduced lead times, labor costs, and inventory management expenses.
Since material is only layered where needed, material waste is minimized, making the process more resource-efficient.
We provide a one-stop solution for the entire 3D printing process, from design and development to material preparation, processing, and post-processing. Additionally, the data for the finished parts or products is stored on Taiga, making it easy to re-purchase with just one click.
We consistently support high-precision and high-quality manufacturing processes by utilizing the latest equipment and the expertise of our engineers cultivated over many years.
At Taiga, we offer a variety of services designed to achieve more efficient manufacturing.
First, we provide a "collaboration feature" that allows all project stakeholders to view and approve drawings and contracts in real-time.
Additionally, our platform enables easy communication through chat, and consolidates various files—such as 2D and 3D drawings, quotes, and project-related documents—into one central location.
These services help meet the diverse needs of our customers, streamline information sharing, and improve efficiency by reducing inspection time, returns, and rework.
In addition to 3D printing, we also support a variety of manufacturing methods, including sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, machining, and CFRP processing. We propose multiple optimal manufacturing solutions for your products, helping to reduce the time spent searching for subcontractors. This ensures fast quotations and smooth parts production.
LFAM (Large Format Additive Manufacturing) is an additive manufacturing technology that uses large-scale thermoplastic materials. By extruding resin in pellet form and layering it, large parts can be created as a single piece, resulting in seamless, high-strength structures. Compared to traditional molding methods, LFAM reduces material waste and enables faster prototyping and production. It is widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, maritime, and design. Additionally, LFAM is suitable for using recycled materials, making it a sustainable choice that aligns with environmental considerations.
SLA(Stereolithography)とは、液体樹脂を用いた高精度な積層造形技術です。紫外線レーザーを照射して感光性樹脂を硬化させることで、極めて滑らかで精密な部品を造形できます。微細なディテールや薄肉構造の再現に優れているため、自動車、医療、歯科、試作モデル、デザイン分野などで広く活用されています。他の3Dプリント技術に比べて高い寸法精度と表面品質を実現できることから、最終製品に近い試作品やマスターモデルとしての利用が進んでいます。
SLS(Selective Laser Sintering)は、粉末状の材料にレーザーを照射して焼結させ、層ごとに積み重ねて立体物を造形する3Dプリンティング技術です。サポート材が不要で、複雑な形状や内部構造のある部品の造形に適しており、試作だけでなく最終製品の製造にも活用されています。特に耐熱性や耐薬品性が求められる機能部品の造形に強みを持ち、航空宇宙、自動車、医療、産業機械など幅広い分野で採用されています。
FDM(Fused Deposition Modeling)は、熱可塑性樹脂を加熱して溶かし、ノズルから押し出して積層することで造形する3Dプリンティング技術です。ABS、ナイロン、PC(ポリカーボネート)など、多様なエンジニアリングプラスチックに対応しているので、高強度・耐熱性・耐薬品性などの特性が求められる部品にも対応可能です。また、試作だけでなく治具や溶接固定具、最終部品など幅広い用途で活用されています。
Vapor Smoothing(ヴェイパースムージング)は、3Dプリントされた樹脂部品の表面に専用の溶剤蒸気を当てることで、層間の段差やザラつきを滑らかにする表面処理技術です。蒸気が表面をわずかに溶かし、表層の凹凸をならすことで光沢のある滑らかな仕上がりが得られます。質感・外観向上の効果だけではなく、防水性や気密性の向上、汚れ・薬品への耐性強化にも寄与します。工業製品としての外観品質を求められる用途や、最終製品としての使用を前提とした造形物の後処理に多く用いられています。
The shape and specifications of the part to be 3D printed are determined, and a 3D model is created using 3D CAD software, etc. On the Taiga, the part to be corrected or checked on the drawing can be written in real time and shared with the project members as they work.
We prepare for printing by converting the 3D model into the appropriate data, slicing it into thin layers for the additive process, and setting parameters such as fill density.
Once the preparations are complete, the 3D printer starts modeling. Based on the slice data, the material is layered.
Post-processing tasks such as removing support material, surface treatment, and assembly are performed as needed.
The completed object undergoes inspection to ensure that its dimensions, shape, and strength meet quality standards. After these steps, the 3D printed item is finished.
Developed parts and products are stored on Taiga, making it easy to reprocess (or re-purchase) the same items when needed.
