Uniontech Announces Strategy to Grow Commercial Usage of Stereolithography (SL)

The UnionTech™ PILOT commercial series of industrial grade stereolithography equipment is aimed at the commercial user who is currently priced out of access to one of the most widely used and highly versatile 3D printing technologies of today. Pricing for the PILOT Commercial Series SL equipment begins at under 100,000 euros.


A huge advance in affordability does not translate to any compromise in performance capability. Today, PILOT users with access to a full spectrum of “21st century” materials can produce a full range of high quality industrial grade applications including investment casting patterns, metal clad composite patterns, injection molding tooling and wide range of functional prototypes capabilities.


The PILOT series features an 800 mW 355 nanometer laser allowing this equipment to utilize all industrial grades SL photopolymers. The PILOT series of SL equipment, similar to the RSPro production series, features key components from globally recognized suppliers including American Optowave, SCANLAB and Panasonic. Robust construction details include a granite recoater frame, closed loop control of key operating parameters, pump fed refill capability, and a high efficiency vacuum recoating system.

UnionTech’s commercial series consists of two machines, the PILOT 250 and PILOT 450  (platform sizes ranging from 250 mm x 250mm x 250 mm to 450mm x 450mm x 400mm). Both machines are capable of layer thicknesses as low as 0.05 mm and scanning speeds up to 12 m/s.

“UnionTech’s experience in our domestic market has proven that, at the proper price point, the quality and versatility of “industrial grade” SL is a preferred 3D printing technology,” states Barry Tsou, president, UnionTech. “Providing users with improved affordability, our strategy is to further enable commercial 3D printing users in Europe and North America to access this technology solution to support continue growth and application innovation. We fully expect to see significant sales volume growth of the PILOT series in this commercial market segment.”
