A 9th 3D Printing Center for the Aviation Industry Opens
Published2017.12.28 10:14A ninth center for aircraft parts manufacturing opens in Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do.
The '3D Printing Gyeongnam Center' opened in Jinju, Gyeongnam.
The Ministry of Science and ICT has been working to establish a foundation for the spread of 3D printing, including the enactment of the 3D Printing Industry Promotion Act, to foster the 3D printing industry, a key tool for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and to expand its reach into everyday life. The Ministry has also been working to establish a foundation for the spread of 3D printing, including through technological development and the establishment of regional centers.
Regional centers have been established and operated in eight regions across the country, starting with Gyeonggi-do in 2015, and including Gyeonggi, Jeonbuk, Daegu, Gyeongbuk, Busan, Chungbuk, Daejeon, and Gwangju. Equipped with equipment and facilities such as 3D printers and specialized personnel, they have been promoting the idea of providing practical assistance to local businesses by linking with local specialized industries.
The Gyeonggi Center, in cooperation with the furniture industrial complex, supported the production of prototypes of furniture accessories such as door opening and closing devices, and the Chungbuk Center, in cooperation with Incheon International St. Mary's Hospital, produced and applied medical assistive devices tailored to the physical conditions of patients.
The Jeonbuk Center is producing 3D printing-related results, including prototype production (2,898 cases), human resource development (3,517 people), and technology commercialization (85 cases) at regional centers nationwide, including lightweight golf cart exteriors made with carbon fiber materials.
The Gyeongnam Center, the ninth of its kind, will be used to manufacture various aviation parts, including aircraft doors and airframes, in conjunction with the aviation-specialized industries in Jinju and Sacheon, to simplify complex processes and reduce weight.And training is also provided to cultivate related professional personnel.
Jinju/Sacheon is home to over 200 companies related to Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) and an aviation-specific industrial complex is being developed (in 2020), making it an optimal location for utilizing 3D printing in the aviation industry.
On this day, Minister of Science and ICT Yoo Young-min requested support from related organizations such as Sacheon City, Jinju City, and Gyeongnam National University of Science and Technology through a video congratulatory address so that the Gyeongnam Center can establish itself as a hub for the development of the Korean aviation industry and technological innovation, and announced that the government will also actively support the fostering and expansion of the 3D printing industry.

The Problem with AI is Not Performance, but Trust
CEO Kang Min-seung emphasized at Snowflake's World Tour Seoul that generative AI has entered a phase where "trust" rather than accuracy becomes the key competitive advantage. As AI is applied to various tasks including consultation, risk management, and operational automation, incorrect data, erroneous responses, and bias are creating actual business risks. He pointed out that enterprises must build a trust layer above AI. To achieve this, accurate data management, semantic structuring, governance, and prompt security are essential. He explained that AI is not merely an automation tool but a technology that reorganizes the entire organization's workflows and decision-making systems. Snowflake provides a platform that supports this trust-based AI operation, emphasizing that enterprises should build "trustworthy AI" rather than "intelligent AI."

The Decisive Factor for AI Agents in Finance: "Trustworthy Data Infrastructure"
The key to spreading AI agents in the financial sector is establishing a trustworthy data system. KB Kookmin Bank is operating over 100 AI agents by 2025 and is promoting expansion to 300. AI is automating repetitive tasks across various areas such as consultation, risk management, wealth management, and relationship management. However, if data quality, governance, and semantic structuring are insufficient, errors and risks increase. KB is building an AI-Ready organization through a multi-model strategy of GPT, Gemini, and Claude, as well as a Snowflake-based data system. The bank emphasized that AI has entered a phase where it restructures not just simple automation but the entire work process and decision-making system.
