According to Yonhap News,



On July 21, Daejeon Techno Park (Daejeon TP) announced that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with three institutions: the Korea conformity Laboratories (KCL), the Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI), and Hanbat University, to successfully promote the "Additive Manufacturing In-line Shared Factory Construction Project."

The institutions have agreed to cooperate on the following areas: Establishing and operating an additive manufacturing in-line shared factory; Creating collaborative spaces among participating organizations and establishing a consistent production process; Providing preferential treatment for support companies, including prototyping and testing/uation; and Creating demand-supply networks and operating a consultation body.

Daejeon TP will oversee the overall operation of the shared factory and the integration of additive manufacturing and post-processing. KCL will handle component testing and reliability verification, KETI will design and build an efficient in-line manufacturing system, and Hanbat University will be in charge of shape design and process optimization for additive manufacturing.

"Additive manufacturing" refers to the technology of precisely creating 3D-shaped products by stacking materials such as metal, plastic, and ceramics layer by layer. This technology can rapidly and accurately produce complex parts, making it a key technology for future digital manufacturing, alongside 3D printing.

Daejeon-si was selected for the "2025 Industrial Innovation Infrastructure Project" by the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy and plans to invest a total of KRW 15.1 billion , including KRW 10 billion in national funds, by 2029 to establish a flexible, production-based in-line shared platform for additive manufacturing in the region.
