Lincsolution Unveils Smart Factory to Global Audience,Formnext2024
Lincsolution (CEO Choi Geun-sik), a specialist in additive manufacturing (3D printing), has unveiled its mass-production autonomous smart factory to the global stage for the first time, accelerating its expansion into domestic and overseas markets.
Lincsolution set up a large exhibition booth at Formnext 2024—the world’s largest additive manufacturing trade show—held at Messe Frankfurt in Germany from November 19 to 22. The company showcased a diorama of its additive-manufacturing-based mass-production autonomous factory, along with large-scale printed parts.
After receiving an A grade in the technology evaluation for special listing and filing a preliminary application for KOSDAQ listing with the Korea Exchange on November 8, Lincsolution plans to build a 13,000㎡ mass-production autonomous smart factory in the Daejeon Industrial Complex by 2026, funded by the capital and technological capabilities secured through the listing.
The new factory will house dedicated production rooms for the company’s proprietary technologies, including FDM production with the EP-500, binder jet production with the MBJ-500, and SLA production with the SL-2300, as well as additional facilities for PBF and MJF processes. The factory will also integrate post-processing, quality inspection, packaging, and shipping into a fully automated workflow, enabling 24/7/365 operation and driving continuous reductions in production costs.
Lincsolution has previously attracted attention with a life-size GV80 prototype (2022) and a 1.5-meter shoe jig plate demonstrating mass-production potential (2023). This year, the company’s diorama of its mass-production autonomous factory drew significant interest even during pre-installation, catching the eyes of surrounding exhibitors.
Notably, representatives from global competitors—including EOS (Germany), HP (U.S.), and BLT (China)—showed strong interest in Lincsolution’s concept, noting its advancement over 3D printing production facilities currently operating in their own countries, and even requested consultation meetings.
Domestic interest has also been high, with more than 10 private companies such as Hyundai Motor, Hyundai Mobis, and Hanwha Aerospace, as well as government, public institutions, and universities including the Ministry of National Defense, Defense Agency for Technology and Quality, Ulsan ICT Promotion Agency, Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, and Korea National University of Transportation scheduling meetings even before departure, highlighting the company’s expanding collaborations as it moves toward becoming a global 3D printing leader.
CEO Choi Geun-sik stated:
“Participating consistently in Formnext for five consecutive years—where global 3D printing companies gather to showcase their technologies and build business networks—has led to our technology, ideas, and vision being recognized in the global market. This brings me great pride as an entrepreneur. But we will not stop here—we will continue driving technological innovation and market expansion strategies to grow into a company that leads the global 3D printing industry.”
