- Signs distribution agreement for Oqton software solutions to drive additive manufacturing adoption, business diversification and revenue growth
- Leading digital transformation of South Korea’s additive manufacturing industry, aiming to become a leading company in 3D printing
SEJONG, South Korea (September 9, 2025) – INNOSPACE (KS: 462350), a South Korean satellite launch service company, announced today that it has signed a distribution agreement for Oqton Manufacturing OS (“Oqton MOS”), an AI and cloud-based software platform developed by global additive manufacturing software leader 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. Recognized as a key solution across high-precision industries, including aerospace, defense, 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 3D printing software that significantly improves design flexibility and productivity in the manufacturing process.
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 world-class 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.”
“Oqton see Innospace as a true partner in driving new technologies and increase Additive adoption in the South Korean manufacturing industry” said Hari Sridharan, VP Sales and Customer Success Oqton. “Innospace will provide us the ability to reach out locally and best serve customers with our production grade end-to-end solution. We are very excited about this opportunity.”
