At the end of 2017, ITRI also established a 3D printing smart medical manufacturing demonstration area in the Kaohsiung branch of the Southern Science Park. With the current trend for precision medical products, ITRI worked closely with artificial dental and bone manufacturers r to develop 3D printed medical materials. The area will be expanded to include aerospace and industrial applications so that the Park's aerospace and related metal industries can enter the emerging 3D printing supply chain and expand South Taiwan's 3D printing cluster.
