[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The 3D Printing Gyeongnam Center at Gyeongsang National University held the ‘3D Printing Gyeongnam Center Project Performance Report and Seminar’ at 2 p.m. on the 15th at Atom Hall in the Chilam Campus Joint Experiment and Practice Building.

The event was attended by Kwon Soon-ki, President of Gyeongsang National University, and Cho Gyu-il, Mayor of Jinju City. The 3D Printing Gyeongnam Center was selected in 2017 for the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National IT Industry Promotion Agency’s ‘3D Printing Regional Center Establishment Contest Project,’ and with support from the university, Jinju City, and Sacheon City, it is carrying out projects such as commercialization creation for supported companies and training specialized personnel for the 4th Industrial Revolution.

The 3D Printing Gyeongnam Center has enabled part development by supporting customized production and technology to companies, resulting in commercialization achievements as well as cost and time reductions. It is contributing to the advancement of aerospace industry and domestic 3D printing industry technology by jointly developing aircraft parts with Korea Aerospace Industries, developing parts for microsatellites with the Korea Testing Laboratory, and developing space launch vehicle parts with the Korea Aerospace Research Institute.

The event also included a seminar to report on the research and development and regional innovation capabilities of the Gyeongnam Center and to discuss digital twin-based metal additive manufacturing technology for aerospace parts. In addition, excellent cases of 3D printing production support and their results were exhibited to share examples of digital manufacturing innovation.

President Kwon Soon-ki said, “Based on the technology and research capabilities accumulated by the Gyeongnam Center so far, we will focus on making it a regional hub center and continuously cooperate with local governments and related organizations to contribute to the development of the regional aerospace industry.”

Mayor Cho Gyu-il of Jinju City stated, “Through support for companies, we will create high added value and apply 3D printing technology in fields such as urban air mobility (UAM), which is emerging as future aviation, and space launch vehicle development, and the city will spare no effort to help it grow into an advanced future industry city.”
