Essentium Announces a Distribution Partnership with Hephzibah to Advance Additive Manufacturing in South Korea

Essentium, Inc., a leading innovator of industrial additive manufacturing (AM) solutions, today announced a distribution partnership with Hephzibah, prominent South Korean 3D printing specialist, to advance additive manufacturing in South Korea.

The combination of Hephzibah’s best-in-class service, customer support, and use-case specific expertise, together with the ground-breaking speed and economics of the Essentium High Speed Extrusion (HSETM) 3D Printing Platform will help resolve many of the historic barriers to widespread adoption of industrial-scale AM and to advance additive manufacturing in South Korean market. Manufacturing firms in South Korea recognize that adding 3D printing to their factory floors could save billions in production costs.

However, they face significant obstacles to using 3D printing for large-scale production, such as the strength of parts, speed and scale of production, and economics. The Essentium and Hephzibah partnership will deliver AM solutions, based on open ecosystems, that produce parts with the strength, speed, and scale customarily associated with injection-moulding and with vastly improved economics.
