About MADDE

MADDE specializes in advanced 3D printing-based manufacturing services, utilizing hard ceramic materials like Silicon Carbide (SiC) and various metals. The company was spun off from Hyundai Motor's in-house startup program and officially established as a corporation in June 2023. The CEO is Chinu Cho. The firm serves high-tech industries including semiconductors, aerospace, and nuclear energy by producing specialized components.

The company's core technology leverages the Binder Jetting method and proprietary high-precision 3D printers. This approach allows for the manufacturing of products with complex geometries from materials like SiC—the third hardest material in the world—without the need for traditional cutting or machining. This process results in significant cost reductions and shorter production lead times compared to conventional methods. Key applications of their technology include producing SiC mirrors, satellite components, rocket nozzles, and parts for small modular reactors (SMRs).

In April 2024, MADDE opened a pilot production line in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, to handle the entire manufacturing process from design to post-processing for customized parts. The company has received venture capital funding from investors such as Atinum Investment, Hyundai Motor Securities, InterVest, and Company K Partners.
