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.[14]
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.[15]
Clean & Friendly
Beginning in 2002, Sindoh has been running 'Clean & Friendly', an environmental education program for employees that aims to engage the local community and improve the surrounding environment.
In 2004 Sindoh announced GreenWave, its Green Management Branch. GreenWave is founded on the principle that environmental management is not a choice but an obligation. Comprising a key part of Sindoh's strategy for global competitiveness, it is far more than a passive environmental protection effort.[16]
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.[17] 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.[18] 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.[19] And, Sindoh launched 3DWOX 2X. The 3D printer market can be distinguished from the personal consumer market and professional market. 3DWOX 2X was developed in the middle of the market, Prosumer.[8]
