The agreement includes the creation of 100 Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centres across China, and included is also a plan to supply China’s 3D printing education with more printers. Within the facility, featured is also a 21,000 sq ft assembly factory where the China partner will manufacture assemble-to-order Solidscape 3D printers for sale in the domestic Chinese market.

“3D printing technology is very important— we need to have this new industrialisation as soon as possible,” commented President Xi Jinping of China, regarding the Chinese government’s view on 3D printing as a driving force in the country’s future manufacturing development.

“We believe our collaboration is the driving force in creating a new 3D printing ecosystem in China,” said Fabio Esposito, president of Solidscape. With Kangshuo and the government’s efforts to aid the country’s emerging 3D printing markets, he looks forward to a fruitful collaboration.
