Examples of technologies utilized in the consumer goods industry

CFRP加工

CFRP

CFRP processing technology is gaining attention as a method of manufacturing components that combine lightweight and high strength. In consumer goods, CFRP is used in the manufacture of sporting goods (bicycle frames, golf clubs, tennis rackets), suitcases, smartphone and laptop casings, and design furniture. In addition to being lighter than metal and possessing superior impact resistance and rigidity, CFRP can also achieve a sophisticated appearance.

板金加工

Sheet Metal

Sheet metal working technology is widely used to manufacture metal parts in consumer goods such as home appliances, furniture, and household items. Typical examples of parts manufactured by sheet metal working include exterior panels of air conditioners and refrigerators, light fixture housings, storage cabinet frames, and metal covers for kitchen appliances. By processing thin sheet metals such as iron, aluminum, and stainless steel through the processes of cutting, bending, welding, and finishing, we can manufacture products and parts that are both durable and visually appealing. Our flexibility in handling mass production as well as small-lot custom products is a key feature of our business.

切削加工

Machining

Cutting is a processing technology utilized in the manufacture of high-precision, highly textured metal and resin parts in the production of parts for consumer goods. It is mainly employed in the manufacture of frames for watches and smartphones, camera parts, dials and knobs for home appliances, and mechanical parts for bicycles. Using aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and resin materials, high-precision processing on machining centers and CNC lathes improves the operability and appearance quality of products. It is also suitable for small-quantity, high-mix production and design-oriented products, and can flexibly accommodate the production of prototypes and limited-edition models.

射出成形

Injection Molding

Injection molding technology is a processing method that enables both mass production and high precision in the manufacture of parts for consumer goods. Typical products and parts include buttons and exterior covers for home appliances, containers and caps for daily necessities, stationery, automobile interior parts, and handles for cooking utensils. In injection molding, resin is injected into a mold and molded as a single piece. The advantage of this method is that it ensures stable quality even for complex shapes and reduces variation from product to product. Injection molding also offers excellent cost performance and is suitable not only for mass production, but also for multi-color molding and composites with different materials.

冷間加工

Cold Forming Process

Cold working is a processing method that plastically deforms materials below their recrystallization temperature and is widely used in the manufacture of consumer goods. The manufacturing of consumer goods is compatible with cold working because design, functionality, and cost performance are important. Cold working is suitable for mass production with high production efficiency and contributes to cost reduction of consumer goods. It is also important in increasing the strength of consumer goods because work hardening increases the strength of the material. At the same time, it provides precision dimensional accuracy, making it suitable for manufacturing parts with complex shapes, and smooth surfaces, improving the attractiveness of products. Furthermore, the high degree of freedom in shape allows for the development of products that combine functionality and design, making them suitable for the manufacture of high value-added consumer goods.

  • Vacuum molding

  • Polishing and surface treatment

We offer a diverse range of technologies, including

Examples of materials utilized in the consumer goods industry

  • ABS resin

    ABS resin is a general-purpose plastic widely used in the manufacture of parts for consumer goods. With its excellent impact resistance, processability, and cost balance, it is widely used in products familiar to our daily lives, such as outer covers for home appliances, toys, remote controls, storage cases, and stationery. Its high formability makes it easy to reproduce complex shapes and detailed designs, making it suitable for products where design is important. Surface treatments such as painting and plating can also be easily applied to improve texture and appearance. It is also suitable for mass production and offers high cost performance.

  • CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic)

    CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic), with its lightweight and high-strength characteristics, is used in the manufacture of high-value-added products for consumer goods components. Specifically, CFRP is used in bicycle frames, suitcases, smartphone and laptop casings, golf clubs, and fishing rods. CFRP is lighter than metal, has equal or greater rigidity, and has a luxurious appearance due to its unique weave. It also has excellent corrosion and fatigue resistance, making it suitable for manufacturing products that will be used for a long time.

  • stainless steel

    Stainless steel is a material that combines excellent corrosion resistance with a luxurious appearance and is widely used in parts for consumer goods. In particular, it is used for kitchen utensils such as sinks, knives, and cooking utensils; bathroom products such as shower heads and towel rails; and frames for watches, accessories, and mobile devices, making it ideal for manufacturing products that require hygiene and durability. It is also scratch-resistant and retains its beautiful appearance for a long period of time, making it suitable for high-quality consumer products where appearance and functionality are important. It also has excellent workability and weldability, and can be used in a variety of precise and diverse shapes.

In addition to this, we can handle all kinds of materials.

Key to Successful Manufacturing of Components for Consumer Goods

Appropriate material selection

In the manufacture of parts for consumer goods, it is important to select materials according to the intended use and product characteristics. For example, ABS resin, which is resistant to impact and easy to process, is ideal for home appliances and general merchandise, while stainless steel is suitable for kitchenware, which requires corrosion resistance and a sense of luxury. CFRP, which is lightweight and high-strength, is often used for high-end suitcases and sporting goods. Since appearance, feel, durability, processing methods, and cost vary greatly depending on the material, the key to success is to select the most suitable material based on the environment in which the product will be used and the target audience.

Balance between mass production and cost

In the manufacture of parts for consumer goods, it is very important to strike a balance between mass production and cost while maintaining quality. For example, injection molding and stamping are suitable for mass production and can significantly reduce per-unit manufacturing costs. However, since they require investment in molds and equipment, it is important to look at the balance between the initial cost and the planned production volume. Conversely, methods with low initial investment, such as 3D printing and cutting, are suitable for small lots and prototype stages. The key to success is to design the optimal processing method and cost according to the product life cycle and market needs.

Thorough quality control

In the manufacture of parts for consumer goods, thorough quality control is essential, as the quality of the product must combine visual beauty and functionality. In addition to dimensional accuracy and shape accuracy, it is necessary to inspect even the smallest details such as scratches, burrs, and color irregularities on the exterior. Depending on the product, functional tests and durability tests should also be conducted to confirm that the product can withstand long-term use. In addition, a quality control system throughout the manufacturing process will reduce the occurrence of defective products and ensure consistent quality. To gain the trust of consumers, focus on quality consistency.
