Inside 3D Printing Korea conference & expo in Seoul…What’s happening in Korea? AM Industry

by Business

Last month brought a host of interesting events to South Korea, and one of the most interesting was the 2017 Inside 3D Printing Korea Conference & Expo in Seoul. Like years past, the event was held again at the expansive Kintex Exhibition Hall in Seoul. This event is in its fourth year, having its initial episode in 2014. And while that may not seem like a lot, it has been very interesting to observe the changes in the Korean market through the lens of this show.
