Recently, there have been dramatic changes in the design and manufacturing industry. In accordance with these changes, Nihon Design Engineering now offers its clients total support from running the actual job to providing consultation for improving job efficiency. The company's clients include the design and manufacturing departments in home electronics firms, camera and watch companies, car companies and many others.

When the MDX-500 was first introduced in the market, Nihon Design Engineering was impressed by its strong performance and the fact that the MDX-500 can utilize 3D CAD directly for prototyping. The company soon decided to purchase the Roland machine. Mr. Iwakabe said,

"We evaluated the MDX-500 thoroughly. The running cost was much lower than the additive rapid prototyping machine and we did not have any trouble with data compatibility."

He continued, "We achieve highly accurate milling results using the MDX-500 together with CraftMILL, a 3D CAM software. Even with curved surfaces, we do not need additional surface treatment. It performs perfectly to produce simple molds. Moreover, it is easy to use, even for beginners."
