[JoongAng Economy News, Kim Jun-su] On the 17th, it was reported that Lincsolution, a 3D printing specialist company, signed a contract with the Army to supply a mobile 3D printing system worth 540 million won.
This contract was made through the Public Procurement Service’s innovative product pilot purchase system, and it is a mobile 3D printing system developed to enable immediate design and production on-site in situations where existing supply networks are paralyzed during field operations or discontinued parts are urgently needed.
As the sustainability of wartime operations has emerged as a key issue in defense technology due to the recent armed conflict between Iran and Israel and the prolongation of the Russia-Ukraine war, Lincsolution’s mobile 3D printing system is being evaluated as a wartime logistics support platform designed to meet on-site demands.
This system is comprised of high-functioning equipment such as the 3D printer EP-500, a 3D measuring machine, and a cabinet-type desiccator integrated inside a specially-made vibration-free container. It is capable of immediately designing, manufacturing, and repairing parts on battlefields or disaster sites that require military support.
The CEO of Lincsolution, Choi Geun-sik, said, “This contract provides an important opportunity to lead the digital manufacturing transformation of the domestic defense industry,” and added, “Along with expanding into various industries such as shipbuilding, marine, construction, and disaster response, we plan to actively cooperate with Philippine defense companies with whom we have already signed overseas sales agreements and promote overseas exports.” LincSolution is expected to lead the digital manufacturing transformation of the domestic defense industry through this contract.
