(Photo = Link Solution) This project is the Ministry’s flagship support initiative aimed at identifying export-oriented SMEs with excellent growth potential and fostering them into global leaders. Selected companies receive a wide range of benefits tailored to their growth stage, including customized export support services such as export vouchers, preferential financial, guarantee, and insurance terms, R&D support, and programs linked with local governments. Link Solution plans to use this designation as an opportunity to fully launch its expansion into overseas markets by leveraging additive manufacturing (AM) technology and smart manufacturing infrastructure. In particular, following the recent signing of a 3D printer equipment supply contract with Samsung Electronics, the company plans to rapidly expand its supply references to include Hyundai Motor Company and Daejeon Technopark, thereby demonstrating its commercialization capabilities in industrial 3D printing technology. Link Solution is diversifying its business scope with a focus on high-value-added advanced manufacturing sectors such as defense, aerospace, robotics, and mobility. The company has obtained ‘KS Q 9100’ certification, an aerospace quality management system, thereby securing official recognition of its capabilities in manufacturing metal 3D-printed parts for the aerospace and defense industries. Furthermore, it is accelerating the application of manufacturing solutions in the defense sector, including signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Army’s 72nd Infantry Division for defense additive manufacturing technology cooperation and military supply innovation. Link Solution is currently constructing the “Daejeon Foundry (Smart Factory),” a key hub in its mid- to long-term growth strategy, with completion targeted for the end of this year. The Daejeon Foundry, which will serve as a base for producing high-precision, high-strength components, will establish an all-purpose production system covering a wide range of materials—from polymers to metals—by combining its proprietary 3D printers with data-driven production systems. Based on this, Link Solution plans to gradually expand its “Additive Manufacturing Foundry Service (AM Foundry Service)” targeting global supply chains, including Southeast Asia. Jeon Geun-sik, CEO of Link Solution, stated, “By the end of next year, the designated completion date, we will combine government support with the Daejeon Foundry’s advanced manufacturing capabilities to establish ourselves as a global foundry leader in the industrial 3D printing market.”
