Competition is a well-recognized refiner and enhancer of product offerings in terms of cost effectiveness and performance. For nearly 20 years, UnionTech has manufactured and sold stereolithography (SL) equipment in a highly competitive environment defined by multiple direct technology competitors and an entrenched CNC prototyping industry.
The UnionTech™ RSPro 600 is one excellent example of UnionTech’s response to this crucible of intense competition: robust construction incorporating globally sourced components to provide users cost-effective ownership throughout the entire life cycle, remarkable part aesthetics and the freedom to collaborate and innovate with open design for materials and machine access. The RSPro 600 printed parts demonstrate excellent sidewall quality and fine detail, contributing to lower post-finishing requirements.

Four of the UnionTechTM machines are on display at RP Sales and are available for parts testing. To learn more visit www.rpsales.us

This large part is one of UnionTech’s current metal clad SL projects demonstrating the bridge between stereolithography polymers and metal additive manufacturing. This part was built in keeping with the “Bridge” theme of the 2017 the Rapid & TCT show.
