When you hear that we are a ``mold shop'' that seriously makes things with professional 3D printers in the 10 million class, how many of you are immediately drawn to it? Daimol is one of the few companies in the Hokuriku region that makes molds for making metal parts. Efficiently producing a large number of parts and creating prototypes for that purpose are two different things, even in the same metal processing industry. Molds are made by processing metal, but the essence of being a moldmaker lies in the design that takes place before processing begins. Since we make molds to make something that originally has no shape, we need to know what method to use to create the mold in order to achieve the desired shape, what kind of drawings are needed for that purpose, and the modeling process used to create the mold. It's work. In this program, participants will attend a graduate school to obtain an MBA, and will learn ideas for innovation and thinking methods for creating products through a workshop led by Daimol representative Kenta Osugi, who will help them realize what they want to create and design it. With support, you can model and finally create a shape using a 3D printer. We are looking forward to hearing from anyone who wants to take on the challenge of making something seriously using a professional 3D printer that the general public does not usually see! ! <Time schedule> 13:50 Reception 14:00 Check-in 14:10 Factory tour 14:40 Workshop 15:45 Presentation/discussion

About Daito Aiki Jiu-Jitsu Daito Aiki Jiu-Jitsu. This martial art is a palace-style self-defense technique that was originally conveyed only to the senior samurai of the Aizu clan. Until the Meiji era, martial arts was a secret to the public, but it became known to the public by Takeda Sokaku, a native of Aizu. Moving zazen "I can't be slashed. I can't be beaten. I can't be kicked. I can't be kicked." Mr. Komichi Horikawa, a high school brother of Takeda Sokaku, positions martial arts in this way. The goal is not to defeat the opponent, as in the case of match-style martial arts and martial arts, but to enhance one's spirituality. This is the ideal, peaceful philosophy of martial arts. Specializing in zazen teaching, I realized that the ignorance of this martial art was very close to the point of Zen enlightenment. The technique of Daito-ryu Aiki Jiu-Jitsu can be rephrased as "moving zazen". Active martial arts for a lifetime The appeal of this martial art is that it can be learned by anyone, regardless of Ageo/Okegawa or Sex. At present, there are children from kindergarten below and those who have passed Koki above. Mid-Year hard and body in, yet is powerless even I, was able to so much without difficulty learning. One of the few martial arts that can last a lifetime. Please try it by all means
