Technology & Products
Key Products
Rapid prototyping parts; functional test/prototype components; heritage vehicle restoration parts (Pony, Stell88); motorsport components (anti-roll bar blades, damper brackets, brake duct rails, oil separators, chassis legs, console brackets); end-of-life/discontinued model replacement parts; metal and polymer AM production parts for vehicle development
Technological Advantage
30 years of 3D printing experience within Hyundai Motor Group (first 3D printer introduced in 1996); complete AM process chain under one roof; wide equipment portfolio covering VPP-SLA, VPP-DLP, PBF-HSS, PBF-MJF, Metal PBF, and DED-WAAM; DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) expertise; in-house materials analysis and mechanical testing lab; part of the broader Namyang digital R&D ecosystem (Driving Simulator, Digital Measurement Center, NOVA Lab)
Differentiation
Value Proposition
End-to-end additive manufacturing capability covering the full 7-step process (DfAM design, data prep, build, post-processing, inspection/validation) under one roof, eliminating reliance on external vendors for AM parts and accelerating vehicle development cycles.
How They Differentiate
Unlike many automotive OEMs that outsource AM production to external service bureaus, Hyundai's AMSC is a fully captive, in-house facility covering the entire process chain. It integrates with Hyundai's broader digital R&D infrastructure (driving simulator, DMC, NOVA Lab) at the Namyang center, enabling rapid design-print-validate cycles. Also uniquely serves heritage vehicle restoration with reverse engineering.
