● Proprietary additive manufacturing technology expands beyond aerospace parts in-house production into the automotive industry
● First commercialization milestone extending high-precision, high-reliability additive manufacturing capabilities to other industrial sectors
● Additive manufacturing business to expand into industries requiring aerospace-grade quality management systems

INNOSPACE announced today that it has signed a supply agreement with Hyundai Motor Group for its proprietary integrated additive manufacturing (3D printing) monitoring solution, ‘INNO AM-X,’ marking a strategic expansion beyond in-house aerospace parts manufacturing toward broader business diversification.

This agreement is drawing attention as a case in which INNOSPACE’s additive manufacturing process management technologies, accumulated through efforts to ensure the quality and reliability of core launch vehicle components, have been applied to the automotive industry. It also represents the company’s first commercialization achievement in extending high-precision, high-reliability additive manufacturing capabilities, proven in aerospace component manufacturing environments where defects are not tolerated, to other industrial sectors.

INNO AM-X is an integrated additive manufacturing monitoring solution that consolidates and manages equipment status, process parameters, and quality-related data generated throughout the metal 3D printing workflow within a single control framework. By collecting and visualizing manufacturing data in real time, the system is designed to systematically accumulate and manage data that had previously been fragmented across individual machines and operations. This enhances visibility across manufacturing operations and enables data-driven decision-making.

The automotive industry requires both quality consistency and process reliability, making comprehensive traceability and monitoring across manufacturing processes essential. Through this agreement, INNOSPACE has demonstrated its capabilities in process stability, quality traceability, and data-driven additive manufacturing monitoring.

Building on this supply agreement, INNOSPACE plans to move beyond a business structure centered on in-house launch vehicle parts manufacturing and to accelerate a system- and solution-oriented business model based on its proprietary additive manufacturing technologies. In particular, the company is exploring opportunities to expand its business portfolio into high-reliability manufacturing industries, including automotive, defense, and energy, that require aerospace-grade quality management systems.

“The additive manufacturing monitoring solutions accumulated through launch vehicle development goes beyond being a simple internal process management tool and has evolved into a competitive system applicable across high-precision, high-reliability industries,” said Soojong Kim, founder and CEO of INNOSPACE. “Starting with this supply to Hyundai Motor Group, we aim to expand across industries and strengthen our position not only in space transportation but also as a company with differentiated technological capabilities in the additive manufacturing field.”
