development of AM parts has often been an issue for the
company. However, the President and CEO of JAMPT
Corporation, Noritaka Yasuda managed and promoted
AM projects with JAMPT’s clients with his prior extensive
expertise and business relationship in machinery division at
a general trading company. Today, his background and
business relationships are extensively helping JAMPT to
excel and promote AM projects. Additionally, in the last
year, Noritaka and his team have successfully installed AM
parts into a vehicle which was launched to space. This was
a big milestone for Japanese AM market. Furthermore, the
torchbearer CEO looks ahead to come up with more real
applications to develop with JAMPT’s clients from various
industries.
Standing Apart with Uniqueness
In the industry evolving with a rapid pace, JAMPT knows
how to stand apart from other market players. One of its
biggest strengths in the business is capability of making raw
material metal powder produced by Plasma Rotating
Electrode Process (PREP), which is the best fit to AM.
Currently, most entities in the AM industry use traditional
metal powder, which was utilized in the historic powder
metallurgy industry, such as sintering. However, the team of
JAMPT believes that this traditional powder is not
optimized for AM as AM process, or 3D printer ideally
requires sphericity, satellite-free, and less-gas pore, which is
almost realized only by PREP powder.
Apart from that, the firm’s partnership with KOIWAI as a
34% shareholder is also a major factor making it a muscular
body, as KOIWAI is the pioneer of AM business in Japan.
Started from a sand mold 3D printer in 2007, KOIWAI
embarked to metal 3D in 2012, further, in having been there
in conjuncture of establishment of JAMPT, KOIWAI
dispatches its skilled engineers to JAMPT today.

Staircase to Reach New Heights of Success
Noritaka wants JAMPT to be useful as a trustworthy
development partner for customers seeking to develop
practical and mass-producible products utilizing AM
technologies. There are two major things, which are helping
JAMPT to achieve Noritaka’s desired heights and making it
stand ahead in the space it is operating.
First is JAMPT’s relation with Tohoku University. JAMPT
works closely with Tohoku University’s Institute of
Material Research (IMR) to deliver a rigid technical support
system. Being a leading Japanese research institute of
metal, IMR plays a vital role in solving customers’
challenges from an academic standpoint. Moreover, the
university also supports JAMPT’s approach of working on
the functionality of parts with academic backing along with
focusing on parts for manufacturability and costeffectiveness..
Notably, this technical relationship with
Tohoku University has also enabled JAMPT to optimize
manufacturing parameter settings even further and develop
high-quality AM parts.
The second thing that helps JAMPT moving ahead is that
its team utilizes the business network of a leading global
trading company—Sojitz Corporation—to explore the AM
market, following the newest trend of AM, and approaching
to potential clients all over the world. Furthermore, to serve
its clients the best, JAMPT always works with a clientoriented
joint AM parts development mindset. This though
system helps it’s the team to make sure that optimized
design AM parts are not created just out of their mere
imagination, but the idea also fully aligns with the clients’
expectation.
As Japan’s first metal AM service
bureau, JAMPT is equipped with
the latest equipment and full production
3D printing capabilities.
