「In addition, by introducing metal 3D printers and integrating them with TTMC (fully automated machining equipment), we are building a manufacturing platform that automates and digitizes the entire process from forming through post-processing. This will strengthen our ability to handle high-value-added components that were difficult to produce using conventional methods, while shortening lead times and improving production efficiency as we work to establish a competitive advantage.」
The initiatives in production technology and line modernization have taken concrete form as end-to-end automation from forming through post-processing by linking metal 3D printers with fully automated machining equipment. - FY2024RestatedAnnual report
