Technology & Products
Key Products
Mass-scale 3D printed parts for robotics, medical, automotive, and consumer goods. Portfolio includes: National Museum artifacts (Seated Maitreya Snow Globe, Gilt-bronze Incense Burner), medical models (CT-based bone models, heart surgery simulators), automotive parts (Porsche x Overwatch 2 mech, SUPER73 tuning parts), IoT devices, and custom consumer products. Served over 10,000 customers with 623,000+ cumulative production parts.
Technological Advantage
Operates a proprietary smart factory in Paju featuring 30+ large-scale SLA printers integrated with AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and robotic arms for autonomous 24/7 operation and 65% weight reduction through hollow structure design.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables cost-effective mass customization and rapid production by replacing traditional injection molding with a fully automated, 24/7 digital manufacturing pipeline.
