Hosted by Ulsan City and sponsored by the Ulsan Information Industry Promotion Agency, the exhibition provides a variety of attractions in relation to the 3D printing industry.
Professor Kim said, “In search for a new 3D printing creation after Rhino, a boat came across my mind. We hope 3D Willy can draw attention from various people in the shipbuilding and 3D printing industries.”
