Through its state-of-the-art services, Gluck overcomes the cost and speed limitations of conventional manufacturing.

Setting Gluck apart as an industry leader is its largest smart Stereolithography (SLA) technology-based polymer 3D printing factory in Paju, Korea, and advanced manufacturing and design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) consulting processes. Established in 2020, the factory is the cornerstone of its exceptional capabilities.

Clients from diverse industries, including medical devices, automotive, electronics and robotics, benefit from Gluck’s in-house teams. They offer a one-stop solution, from modeling, design and printing to post-processing, painting and finishing. Gluck is at the forefront of high-volume production in diverse forms, ensuring consistent quality and competitive lead times. Its portfolio includes diverse products, from pediatric heart models and digestive endoscopy trainers to artist merchandise and human robots.

Precision. Flexibility. Client-Centricity

Gluck’s advanced manufacturing process combines 3D printing and technologies like advanced post-processing techniques and special effects techniques to create high-value products for clients. The team can support up to 100 clients daily and produce between 3,000 and 10,000 parts, depending on size and complexity.

Its 3D printing services range from prototyping to large-scale printing, and are renowned for high precision and efficiency in mass-producing a wide variety of product types.

Traditional manufacturing methods for complex structures or customized mass production are often limited by high tooling costs and slower production speeds. In stark contrast, Gluck’s technology enables the production of intricate shapes and customized mass production without the need for molds, reducing initial costs and maximizing production flexibility. It also accommodates client needs for specific minimum order quantities. This reduces the burdens of overstocking and minimizes the risk of unsold products. This also allows clients to test products in smaller batches and provide feedback for improvements. Receiving practical feedback from the design stage helps Gluck establish optimized production conditions for products.

DfAM consulting services guide clients through product weight reduction and process improvements.

Through its DfAM expertise, Gluck achieved significant weight reduction and improved thermal efficiency in projects for major companies such as Samsung, enhancing productivity and reducing costs

Working closely with domestic and international material development partners, Gluck applies innovative functional materials, such as inorganic composite materials, and achieves weight reductions of up to 89 percent through lightweight design and efficient material usage. In a collaborative project with a major Korean corporation, Gluck utilized electrostatic discharge materials to replace parts that previously required aluminum machining. The parts were optimized for lightweight construction, resulting in cost savings and enhanced productivity.

From the initial design phase to final production, Gluck collaborates closely with clients and partners to understand their design ideas and specific manufacturing requirements, ensuring the best outcomes. A prime example of this collaborative innovation is Gluck’s technical partnership with The Hospital for Sick Children in Canada, where it developed highly specialized medical simulators. By maintaining real-time communication and holding regular review meetings, the team transparently shared project progress and promptly incorporated client feedback to deliver optimal solutions.

Over the years, it used its extensive experience to build a standardized process tailored to each industry and purpose. By applying specific materials and technologies, Gluck ensures smooth surface finishes and achieves the highest quality, meeting both design and functional demands.

The team applies its expertise in hardware, software and materials to an internal procedure for parameter settings, stress-shrinkage prevention, and manufacturing precision. The streamlined process also helps with data pre-processing and management and post-curing conditions.

Global Scalability with Remote Production

Gluck remotely operates its automated 3D printing factory. The factory was purposefully designed from the ground up to support remote 3D printing production, carefully considering network infrastructure, system security, climate control, environmental factors and safety protocols.

All data is uploaded to a system server, enabling seamless remote production. This includes real-time process management, tracking progress, collecting production and equipment data, predictive maintenance and even remote equipment maintenance. From data upload to final delivery, the process is managed through MES and other systems, ensuring optimization at every stage for the fastest possible product delivery to customers.

Automated processes in Gluck’s high-volume polymer production streamline lead times while delivering durable, high-strength products with lightweight, efficient designs. The remote printing production system enables on-demand production and facilitates flexible production schedules.

An enhancement of this system is planned with overseas factories to enable smooth remote production in the future.

Innovating Across Industries

Gluck is pioneering a new market in the arts with Sculpia, its flagship brand designed to serve as a 3D-printed art commerce platform, helping artists and creators commercialize and distribute their work. The Sculpia platform enables both original artwork and historical pieces, like cultural heritage items, to reach consumers in an engaging way. For instance, projects like the Baekje Gilt-Bronze Incense Burner merchandise reinterpret and preserve historical art in a modern context, bringing cultural value to consumers and offering a new experience in collectible art.

Its extensive artistic portfolio is rooted in its team members’ rich art backgrounds. Gluck has worked on projects for renowned domestic clients and international figure-making companies, sculpture firms and artists.

Steering ahead, Gluck aims to standardize customized mass production through 3D printing, offering optimal solutions for various industries requiring limited edition production, large-scale customized products and complex shape realization.

It is also preparing to complete its second facility. The new factory will incorporate robotic and automated guided vehicle systems to maximize production efficiency, expanding 24-hour automated operations and remote production systems. This infrastructure expansion is part of Gluck’s mission to provide customized 3D printing solutions to clients worldwide and contribute to a sustainable manufacturing ecosystem.
