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
