Printing solutions

Sindoh offers solutions to optimize corporate printing environments. In 2008, Sindoh introduced their managed printing service (MPS), which reduces maintenance costs of document management.

In 2011 Sindoh introduced the smart office solution to compete with the trend towards cloud-based technologies. Sindoh also released Sindoh SecuOne, and OfficeOne series as a solution package for document security for small and medium-sized businesses.

In 2015 Sindoh built the I-printing cloud system solution at Incheon International Airport Corporation.[9]

In 2016, in collaboration with Sindoh, the Yangcheon-gu Office, a public institution of Korea, introduced the Integrated Output Management Service (MPS) to improve their service quality.[10]

3D printers

Sindoh entered the 3D printer market with its own brand, 3DWOX. In 2016 the company launched DP200 and DP201, two models under the 3DWOX brand name.[11] The DP200 printer was designed to introduce inexperienced users to 3D printing technology.

In 2016 Sindoh, in conjunction with SolidWorks, introduced 3D-printing software which enables users to 3D print using a CAD program without slicer software.[12] The company entered into a partnership with SolidWorks, and developed an "Apps for Kids" program in 2017. This has allowed children to 3D print easily and from the cloud.[13]
