INAC US’s Tech Strength Series 02

Transparent/Clear
3D Printing

A special section introducing our one-of-a-kind technology

The theme of the second feature is “A 3D printer for stylish and detailed parts!”

We propose the best transparency products by selecting the optimal conditions and processing methods for your particular use case.

INAC’s wide range of technologies enables us to produce all sorts of transparent parts using 3D printers.

Undercut parts can also be created in one piece

The best feature of 3D printers is that they can create undercut and hollow shapes in one piece, which is impossible with conventional cutting. Bottle shapes like the one in the photo can be produced in one piece, allowing the contents to be visible without risk of liquid leakage.

Another great feature is the short delivery time. Since there is no need to arrange materials or create processing programs, we can respond to urgent orders as long as we have 3D data.
This method is ideal for when you just need products quickly.

"The combination of design flexibility and finishing technology makes it ideal for stylish components"

Beauty that defies the image of conventional 3D printers

3D printers are attractive for their freedom of design, but products that have just come out of the printer still have supports and traces of lamination, and are not very appealing to look at.

At INAC however, we use our accumulated experience in techniques such as polishing, yellowing removal, and transparency processing to achieve a beautiful finish, so creations can be used for various purposes such as for creative design parts.

We can also make products transparent even when the inside is inaccessible, such as the case with bottle shapes.

Please consult with us even for designs that you have previously given up on as being unfeasible to produce.

High reproducibility of detailed shapes

3D printers are easy to use, but it is surprisingly difficult to make them work the way you want them to. And when it comes to finely detailed fabrication, simply reducing the laser diameter is not enough to reproduce shapes perfectly.

INAC’s operators are familiar with equipment of a wide variety of parameters and are able to maximize performance. Leave it to use to produce difficult shapes such as fine brushes.

High quality and quick delivery of design exhibition models

Our sales representative will contact you as soon as possible.

STEP 3: Rendering and Scene Integration

We can also handle exterior modeling and interior structure design based on illustrations. After creating the 3D models, we can create a rendering to fit a scene. We can deliver images even if we do not proceed with production.

STEP 2: Detailed Design and 3D Modeling

Once the design is determined, drawings and 3D models will be created. The structure will be examined, taking into consideration not only the external design but also functionalities such as mating and sliding.

STEP 1: Initial Design Consultation

The first step is a meeting to discuss the project. Drawings are not required for this meeting. We will create a design from a sketch based on the overall image and concept that you have in mind.

STEP5: Verification

We have an assortment of manual and CNC coordinate measuring machines, roughness measuring machines, and various other measuring instruments. We are committed to quality, and there’s no better proof of that than the fact that when many of our customers buy INAC’s services and experience the quality, they come back again to place repeat orders.

STEP4: Decorating, plating, printing

Paint and plating treatments can be added to processed products. Few companies are able to handle the entire process up to and including decoration. The ability to deliver everything in a short period of time speeds up product development. Colors can even be reproduced exactly as desired, as in-house color mixing is can be done.

STEP3: Creation

We create things using a variety of manufacturing methods, including cutting, 3D printers, casting, aluminum molds, and lathing. Sometimes, additional work is performed at a machining center to improve the precision of the 3D printed products. Manufacturing possibilities are expanded by making full use of each machine through this process. Or we can meet customer needs by makinng full use of each machine through this process.

STEP2: Proposal for the method of production based on the meeting

In addition to the intended application and operating environment, the delivery time, quality requirements, and target cost are also taken into account when considering production methods. Our sales staff, who are well versed in prototyping with knowledge on which materials and what processing methods to use, will propose the most appropriate manufacturing method.

STEP1: Reception of drawings or data, and meeting on applications and use cases

We will hold a meeting with you to discuss the details. For example, if the purpose of the prototype is to observe the inside of the equipment, we’ll need to gather enough detail to determine things like if any liquids will pass through, what temperatures can be expected, whether there should be any leaks, etc. We consider this meeting to be very important for the process because determining the optimal production method will depend greatly on the intended application among other factors.
