Innospace to distribute Oqton Manufacturing OS and 3DXpert in South Korea
Innospace, a satellite launch service company based in Sejong City, South Korea, has signed a distribution agreement for 3DXpert and Oqton Manufacturing OS (MOS), an AI and cloud-based software platform developed by global Additive Manufacturing software specialist Oqton. This marks a strategic partnership for Oqton and Innospace for distribution to the South Korean market.
Oqton MOS is an advanced digital platform that integrates and tracks the entire manufacturing workflow – from design and simulation to production management and quality inspection – using AI and cloud technology. Recognised as a key solution across high-precision industries, including aerospace, defence, automotive, medical, and energy, the platform enhances manufacturing efficiency, strengthens end-to-end traceability, and enables data-driven decision-making.
Innospace has also secured distribution rights to Oqton’s integrated engineering software, 3DXpert, an all-in-one Additive Manufacturing software that significantly improves design flexibility and productivity in the manufacturing process. The 3DXpert software solution includes build preparation tools as well as Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), generative design, heat exchanger design, build simulation and build inspection.
Through this agreement, Innospace begins a full-fledged expansion into Additive Manufacturing, aiming to diversify its business portfolio and establish itself as a leading company in South Korea. As an official partner of Oqton, Innospace will directly handle product sales and related services, including installation, maintenance, training, and customer support. The company plans to supply AI-based Additive Manufacturing solutions to industrial sites in South Korea while generating new revenue streams.
AI and cloud-based digital manufacturing platforms have yet to gain wide traction in South Korea’s Additive Manufacturing industry. Leveraging this partnership, Innospace will also apply Oqton MOS to its own production processes to enhance manufacturing efficiency in core space launch vehicle components and strengthen competitiveness in quality management and production speed.
“This agreement represents a pivotal step as we secure the rights to distribute an AI-driven 3D printing manufacturing platform to the South Korean market for the first time,” said Soojong Kim, founder and CEO of Innospace. “Leveraging this opportunity, we will accelerate the adoption of cutting-edge Additive Manufacturing solutions across South Korean industries and evolve into a company that drives innovation in manufacturing -beyond space.”
