Castem, a precision casting manufacturer based in Hiroshima, has succeeded in reproducing the armor of Alphonse Elric from the Fullmetal Alchemist anime franchise in 1/1 scale with real steel using precision casting technology.
The armor of Al is made by melting stainless steel at 1,700°C and pouring it into a mold using “precision casting technology” (lost wax casting), a technology for manufacturing metal parts that Castem has developed over its 52 years in business.
In order to perfectly reproduce Al from the anime, Castem’s digital prototype sculptor faithfully converted the figure into 3D data without any changes.
