Weekdays 10 AM?7 PM, Sat-Sun 10 AM?5 PM Operation... Special Opportunity to Experience the 4th Industrial Revolution at the Prototype Production Room in Eulji Unique Factory

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Eulji Unique Factory in Jung-gu, Seoul (Mayor Seoyangho) is expanding its facility usage hours to weekday evenings and weekends so that more residents can experience and enjoy it.

Eulji Unique Factory is a startup incubator and makerspace (Makespace, open workshop) of Jung-gu, located on the 2nd basement floor of Eulji Twin Tower (170 Eulji-ro), covering an area of 645㎡ (195 pyeong).

This place operates various programs such as training printing and video personnel, startup incubating, and prototype production.

The district office manages the facilities and other related matters, while Dongguk University Startup Center is in charge of overall operations.

Combining the capabilities of urban manufacturing and creators concentrated in the Euljiro area, it was opened last October with six production rooms where entrepreneurs can create prototypes, 47 types of equipment, classrooms, and an XR lab to foster a startup ecosystem suitable for the 4th industrial era and revitalize urban industries.

Operating hours are from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

Usage is available by reservation through the website or phone. Classrooms, VFX (visual special effects) workshops, and others can be rented free of charge not only on weekdays but also on weekends, allowing small group meetings or club activities.

It is a space open to everyone, filled with various programs.

First, the prototype production rooms where you can experience the 4th industry include ▲a digital printing room where you can make first birthday party banners and couple T-shirts ▲a laser workshop room where you can engrave store brands ▲a 3D printing workroom capable of making jewelry and artificial joints ▲a VFX workshop and XR lab where you can create and enjoy special effects seen in movies ▲and an IoT workroom to experience the Internet of Things.

Additionally, career experience programs related to urban industries and the 4th industry, which are usually difficult to experience, are operated for local elementary and middle school students, introducing related occupations and conducting hands-on activities and kit production using equipment.

Furthermore, works related to urban industries, startup company prototypes, and young artists' works are regularly exhibited.

In the future, a resident experience group will be formed targeting general residents, parents, and students to develop and present programs such as the 'Euljiro Travel' program.

Moreover, in the second half of this year, a twin space (virtual space) will be established to vividly realize Eulji Unique Factory by visualizing spaces, equipment, and exhibition works through immersive technologies such as VR online, enhancing residents' accessibility.

Seoyangho, Mayor of Jung-gu, said, "Various programs are prepared for everyone from children to adults to experience urban industries and the 4th industry," adding, "I hope many residents enjoy special experiences such as VR and 3D printing at Eulji Unique Factory."
