Technology & Products

Key Products

Metal Additive Manufacturing Services (DED and PBF); Plastic 3D Printing Services (SLS, SLA); CNC Precision Machining

Technological Advantage

Combines dual metal AM technology platforms (DED for large parts and repair; PBF for complex precision components) with CNC machining and quality certifications (AS9100 aerospace, ISO13485 medical, ISO14001 environmental, ISO9001) to serve demanding industries; leading government-funded 'Advanced Components Industry Customized 3D Printing Specialized Solution' project (2025) focused on automated manufacturing processes and integrated cloud management systems; applies DFAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) methodology for high-density heat exchanger components.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Provides end-to-end additive manufacturing services from development and prototyping to mass production using both DED (Directed Energy Deposition) and PBF (Powder Bed Fusion) metal 3D printing technologies, combined with integrated cloud-based manufacturing process automation and quality management systems to deliver aerospace-grade certified components.

How They Differentiate

Unique dual-technology capability (DED + PBF metal AM), official EOS distributor since 2015, operates DMG MORI LaserTec 65 hybrid system (one of only two in Korea), integrated cloud-based manufacturing process automation, and holds AS9100 aerospace certification - positioning as comprehensive end-to-end AM solution provider vs. single-technology service providers
