According to Business Korea, sources at Samsung Electronics have previously stated that the company would not enter the 3D printing industry for another ten years or so. Today, however, news has come out of The Korea Times suggesting that the electronics giant is already beginning research into the technology, along with other cutting edge projects, with a new innovation team that we might as well call Samsung X.
A representative at Samsung Electronics has said that the company’s new innovation team, led by Samsung chief of mobile Shin Jong-kyun, will explore such technologies as virtual reality, UAVs, robotics, and 3D printing, explaining, “The team will explore how technologies could help people’s daily life for a better future… Given the significance of the team, members will have more authority and independence because the main purpose of the team isn’t to develop single devices for any imminent results, but to develop solutions to go with Samsung’s manufacturing capabilities.”
