Jinju-si and Gyeongsang National University Sign Agreement for 3D Printing Technology Support

Support for Prototype Production and Specialized Training

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province, and Gyeongsang National University held a business agreement ceremony on the 19th at the City Hall Entrepreneurs' Room for the 3D Printing Gyeongnam Center technology support project.

This business agreement follows the decision that, as the national funding for the '3D Printing Gyeongnam Center,' which had been supported since 2017, was discontinued this year, Jinju City and Gyeongsang National University agreed to support 300 million KRW and 50 million KRW respectively to continue the project for the next five years.

As a result, small and medium-sized enterprises, students, and prospective entrepreneurs in Jinju City will be able to continue receiving support for prototype production using 3D printing technology and specialized education.

Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province, and Gyeongsang National University held a business agreement ceremony for the 3D printing technology support project.

Since its opening in 2017, the ‘3D Printing Gyeongnam Center’ has been providing steady support to root 3D printing technology in the region through customized product support for companies, 3D printing prototype production support, and specialized industrial field education.

In particular, last year, in cooperation with the Korea Aerospace Research Institute, it succeeded in a combustion test of a 3-ton class methane combustor applying metal 3D printing technology in the aerospace industry field, and also demonstrated the infinite possibilities of 3D printing technology by producing digital shapes of artifacts from the Jinju Bronze Culture Museum.

Mayor Cho Gyu-il said, “3D printing technology is an essential technology for the growth of the aerospace sector, which is a future growth industry of Jinju City. Our city will continue to support the creation of an industrial ecosystem related to 3D printing.”
