UnionTech Unveils New PILOT SL 3D Printer Series For Affordable, High Quality Printing

September 25, 2017

Shanghai Union Technology Corporation (or UnionTech) is set to reveal its newest stereolithography 3D printer series at the TCT show on September 26 – 28th (you can find them at booth #B52). The company is looking to place the PILOT product line as affordable but with high quality production. The company touts the new machine’s excellent surface aesthetics, application range, ease of use.

The series consists of the PILOT 250 and the 450. The PILOT 250 boasts a 250mm x 250mm x 250mm platform, while the PILOT 450 series offers a 450mm x 450 mm x 400mm build platform. The PILOT series features open design for materials and build preparation software. It also houses a lot of features of previous UnionTech machines. For example, it features all the “industrial strength” capabilities of UnionTech’s RSPro production series. Typical features include scan speeds up to 12 m/s, layer thicknesses as low as .05mm, and accuracy of more or less .1% over part length.

This series is the culmination of UnionTech’s expansion to international markets. They based their core philosophy around the observation that there are many 3D printing users who cannot use SLA due to its costliness. This, naturally, became a market they sought to explore by creating SLA devices with low price and high value.

The PILOT series of SL equipment features key components from globally recognized suppliers including Spectra-Physics, American Optowave, SCANLAB and Panasonic. 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.
