Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to express dreams. This press release is the dream of "YOKOITO Inc."
"Creating a society where all ideas can take shape"
——YOKOITO continues to take on challenges to achieve this.
YOKOITO Inc. (Headquarters: Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture; Representative Director: Yutaro Nakajima) launched "YAM (Yokoito Additive Manufacturing)" in 2021, aiming to research and popularize AM technology. We provide total support related to AM, including contract development and production outsourcing using AM, in-house support, and technical education.
Through the popularization of AM technology and manufacturing support, we aim to "create a society where all ideas can take shape."
Background of the Dream
Ideas like "It would be great if there was a product like this" or "If only this part could be changed a little, it would be more convenient" are born daily, but they often disappear when they hit the wall of manufacturing. In recent years, the barrier to individual manufacturing and prototyping has been lowering. However, when it comes to the stage of "selling as a product" or "commercializing," cost issues stand in the way.
Due to the diversification of consumer needs, agile product development and optimization of production volume are indispensable, but the current means of production for small to medium lots are limited.
From the norm of "making and transporting," the manufacturing site is gradually changing, facing challenges like soaring logistics costs and the risk of logistics itself stopping, demanding a different approach to manufacturing than before.
Quickly giving shape to ideas and delivering them to the market. With AM, which excels in small to medium-lot production, it is possible to achieve both uncompromising design changes and speedy supply. It may also be possible to reduce the burden of logistics through a data-driven supply chain that minimizes physical movement.
