The strength of Japan’s manufacturing industry is in its on-site capabilities, which are supported by regional
small-to-mid size manufacturers. What’s able to maximize these capabilities and surmount the severe competitionin the international market is the 0.001 mm–1 mm range. This is known as the “blank engineering range” among
the systematized techniques of today’s manufacturing industry. In our manufacturing association, companies withstrength in this micro manufacturing range for the field of formed products (material, machining, molding,deformation processing, surface treatments, assembly, joining, 3D printing, inspection, etc.) are at the center ofpaving the way for new manufacturing frontiers.

to the micro manufacturing industry● Creation of plans to support the industry throughcoordination with public institutions and both domesticand foreign industry associations and more

NanotechRange

In this industry, it’s required that the object being
worked on is seen and can be moved freely. To put it
another way, an object that cannot be seen or cannot
be moved freely will be very difficult to work with inmanufacturing operations like assembly and normal
manufacturing. The micro manufacturing range issquarely in this boundary where the object can beseen (with the naked eye) and moved freely.
