We turn research questions and hypotheses into prototypes, experimental setups and evaluation data. We have design, printing, measurement and computing equipment in-house, and run research and implementation in parallel at ∂ Lab., our joint lab with Kanazawa University.
What you bring, what we return
| What you bring | Research question, hypothesis, what you want to evaluate, existing prototypes and experimental data |
| What we return | Prototypes, experimental setup (fixtures and measurement configuration), evaluation data, and a report of the results |
What we can do
- Prototyping: Carbon DLS needs no tooling and prints from a single piece. Prototypes typically ship 5 business days after the data is finalized.
- Design iteration: we revise the design based on the evaluation results. You can move to production with the same data and the same material as the prototype.
- Materials: from elastomers (EPU family, SIL 30 and others) to high-stiffness, heat-resistant resins (EPX 82 and others). Properties are listed in the Materials Guide.
- Analysis: we run CAE strength analysis at the design stage.
- Measurement: we 3D-scan printed parts and check dimensional deviation from the design data.
- Joint research: we welcome visits and inquiries about joint research.
∂ Lab.
∂ Lab. (Partial Lab) is a research lab we opened jointly with the Human Machine Innovation Laboratory at Kanazawa University. Students, researchers and Mikawa Industry engineers work in the same place, running design, AI implementation, additive manufacturing and mechanical integration as a single loop.
| Opened | May 1, 2026 |
| Location | Kanazawa University Innovation Airport |
| Research partner | Kanazawa University, Human Machine Innovation Laboratory |
| Partner | Cistron (Physical AI development) |
Talk to us
The research question, what you want to evaluate and the operating environment (temperature, load, chemicals, outdoor use and so on) help us propose faster. You do not need to have everything ready.
