Shanghai, China – UnionTech has just concluded an exciting and productive week in Shanghai, highlighted by two key events: a thought - provoking Additive Manufacturing Seminar held at UnionTech's headquarters on March 17, and a strong presence at TCT Asia 2025, which took place from March 17 to 19 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai).
Showcasing Cutting-Edge Industry-Specific Solutions in TCT Asia 2025
UnionTech drew significant interest from professionals across multiple industries. Our booth (7F50, Hall 7.1) became a focal point for discussions on how SLA technology is reshaping tyre mold manufacturing, robotics, drones, footwear, jigs & fixtures, cultural and creative, and medical applications.
Among the various SLA applications showcased, tyre mold printing stood out as the most precision-intensive. Given the demanding nature of tyre production, where even the slightest deviation can affect grip, wear resistance, and overall safety, extreme precision is a non-negotiable requirement.
Tyre molds printed by RA Series
Addressing these challenges, UnionTech’s RA Series SLA 3D printer was a key highlight, demonstrating its capability to achieve a surface roughness of Ra < 4µm, a roundness deviation of < 0.05mm, and a radial deviation of ±0.1mm. These levels of precision ensure that mold textures, fine details, and intricate patterns, which influence the performance of the final tyre, are reproduced with high-level accuracy.
- RA Series for Tyre Molds: The RA Series printers, specifically designed for the Tyre mold industry, was a star attraction. This printer addresses challenges such as high costs, low efficiency, and complex processes. It offers an ultra - precise large - scale SLA printing system, special materials for molds, and a cloud platform to optimize process management. UnionTech's RA Series provides a full - package end - to - end solution for tyre makers, complete with a production standard guarantee.
