INNOPRINT 3D and K-Labs Showcase Innovative Solutions at AM KOREA 2025

On July 2, 2025, the inaugural AM KOREA 2025—Korea’s first international additive manufacturing technology exhibition—opened grandly at the Korea International Exhibition Center (KINTEX). As the country’s only dedicated trade show focused on additive manufacturing and 3D printing, AM KOREA 2025 gathered numerous companies from the materials, components, and equipment sectors. At this event, INNOPRINT 3D joined forces with its Korean distributor K-Labs to deliver an impressive presentation of innovative Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) products and solutions to the Korean 3D printing industry.

As INNOPRINT 3D’s official partner in Korea, K-Labs has cultivated deep expertise in 3D printing over many years, specializing in transforming cutting-edge laboratory technologies into practical commercial products. Thanks to this strong foundation, the INNOPRINT 3D solutions jointly showcased by the two companies attracted significant attention on the exhibition floor.

According to research firm Grand View Research, Korea’s additive manufacturing market has enormous potential, with projected revenue expected to reach \$4.6199 billion by 2030 and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.1% between 2024 and 2030. This dynamic market outlook provides an even broader stage for the partnership between INNOPRINT 3D and K-Labs.

At the event, K-Labs displayed over 20 INNOPRINT 3D SLS-printed sample parts, covering materials such as TPU, carbon-fiber-reinforced Nylon 12, copolyamide, and PEEK, with applications ranging across medical, automotive, consumer electronics, and power tools.

Among the many showcased applications, INNOPRINT 3D’s solutions demonstrated outstanding performance and versatility. For example, a miniature drone frame was printed in Nylon 11 (Precimid1180 BLK), with finished dimensions of 100 × 100 × 14.8 mm, offering a combination of lightweight construction and high strength to ensure efficient flight and agile maneuvering.

Medical applications also drew significant interest. Custom orthotic insoles, printed in TPU material (Precimid1130 88A), were specifically designed to relieve patient walking pain, effectively improving the biomechanical performance of the knees and hips. They are especially suited for patients with flat feet, valgus feet, calcaneal eversion, or in-toeing gait.

Additionally, 3D-printed hand braces have replaced traditional plaster casting methods, utilizing 3D scanning for precise customization. The openwork brace, printed in Precimid1190Pro, features excellent toughness while being lightweight and breathable. After smoothing treatment, it achieves increased toughness with a dense, sleek surface that is waterproof, sweat-resistant, and eliminates tiny gaps that could harbor bacteria, offering patients a significantly improved wearing experience.

Since its founding in 1999, INNOPRINT 3D has continually innovated in the field of SLS 3D printing technology, building deep technical expertise in independently developed equipment, auxiliary printing systems, and highly reusable 3D printing powders. This joint presentation with K-Labs at AM KOREA 2025 not only showcases INNOPRINT 3D’s current technological achievements but also marks a new starting point for the partners to explore the Korean market together. Looking ahead, INNOPRINT 3D is committed to collaborating with K-Labs and industry partners to drive ongoing technological innovation, contribute to the development of Korea’s additive manufacturing sector, and advance global 3D printing technology to new heights.
