The only place in Komatsu where you can visit a farm and experience stone processing! Takigahara Town, Komatsu City is a production area of Takigahara stone with beautiful blue gray color. The numerous stone quarries (choba) with a history of more than 100 years and arch bridges made entirely of stone are the major reasons why Komatsu City has been certified as a Japanese heritage site for its stone culture. Ishizai Aratani Shoten is a stone material shop that manages the only active stone quarry in Takigahara, which used to have many stone quarries. The cave mining site is cool in summer and warm in winter, and maintains a consistent temperature year-round. In this program, an arch bridge and quarry made of Takigahara stone will be guided by Mr. Shuichiro Funatsu, a sculptor and geoguide who uses Takigahara stone for creative activities, and Mr. Yumi Aratani, the current owner of Stone Aratani Shoten. It is a unique experience where you can see and learn about Komatsu's stone culture and stone history while visiting the original. ☆ There is also a plan with a stone carving workshop ☆ After the tour, those who wish can touch and feel the stones at the stone carving workshop. *Reservations for the sculpture workshop have ended. We only accept visits. *For foreign nationals: Information on the day will be in Japanese only.

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
