UnionTech Customer Case_JUN CHEN 3D's Ingenuity
3D printing technology has experienced the slow development of the first decade of the 21st century and the explosive development of the past
decade in China. It is now a widely used and mature technology in manufacturing. It overcomes the limitations of the long-standing traditional
production methods of the manufacturing industry and enables mold-free production. 3D printing technology is not affected by product structur-
ing. It can be directly imported into the design drawing for printing, omitting the product mold development time, which not only greatly shortens
the product launch cycle, but also greatly reduces the production cost.
In the 3D printing process, the Stereo Lithography Apparatus (SLA technology) has become the most widely used technology in the Chinese
market due to its high precision, good surface quality, material functionalization and diversity. It is suitable for industrial electronics, aviation,
automotive, shoe mold manufacturing, oral & medical, education, cultural and creative industries.

Stereolithography, in particular, is a leading 3D printing technology that has continued to provide
enhanced performance capability with greatly improved cost efficiency. These advancements have
created a great opportunity for stereolithography printing as a preferred prototyping technique.
Compared to CNC machining, a great advantage of stereolithography printing is processing efficiency.
“It usually takes a week to get processing done by CNC. On the other hand, stereolithography printing
finishes the work in one day. UnionTech printers offer large platforms enabling multiple parts to
be produced at the same time on a single machine. Stereolithography machines are also capable
of ‘dark’ operation, i.e., the ability to produce parts without human intervention. “Reducing labor and
related costs required in CNC machining is a considerable benefit.” states Mr. Wen Binghua, the CEO
of KeHeng.
