| Through research &
development program undertaken jointly with the Industrial Research Institute
of Nagano Prefecture, ASUZAC successfully developed what we call the
"V-Process" (Vacuum Molding Process : Casting method by mold sealed in greatly
reduced pressure) in 1972. The process of technique is designed to produce a
casting mold by means of vacuum, using a plastic film as sealant. A
revolutionary casting process, its patent has been licensed to over 150
enterprises in Japan and abroad.
The Space Engineering Division makes the most of the V-Process to develop and
produce high-quality aluminum construction materials and interior/exterior
materials. Our integrated in-house organization, from design through
manufacture, allows us to realize textures and repeatability formerly
unavailable from conventional construction materials. As such, our products are
being used extensively in a variety of buildings and structures.
