Union Tech

What Union Tech does

UnionTech is a privately held industrial 3D printer manufacturer headquartered in Shanghai, China, founded in 2004 with over 25 years of industry experience and a global installed base of more than 10,000 SLA printers across 8,000+ customers. The company develops and sells a broad portfolio of additive manufacturing hardware spanning four core technologies — Stereolithography (SLA), Digital Light Processing (DLP), Liquid-crystal Display (LCD), and Selective Laser Melting (SLM) for metal — organized into product families including RSPro, PILOT, Lite, Cute/EvoDent, Martrix, and MUEES, plus industry-specialized variants for footwear (FM/FL), dental (D600), and tire mold (RA900/RA600) applications.

Underlying the hardware is a proprietary technology stack: UT ONE and Polydevs workflow software, the DSCON operating system with IoT functionality, and an AI process optimization engine used in metal printing that the company claims reduces production cycles from 30+ days to as fast as 5 days. UnionTech monetizes through one-time hardware sales at quote-based pricing, recurring revenue from certified materials (in partnership with BASF and Evonik, including a joint R&D laboratory), software licensing, and on-demand manufacturing services delivered via its affiliated Unionfab digital manufacturing platform, which operates in the United States, Canada, and Germany.

The company sells primarily to enterprise manufacturers through a direct field sales motion supplemented by regional channel partners (including RP America for North America) and supports customers across verticals such as automotive, aerospace, dental and medical, footwear, tire mold making, investment casting, and cultural/creative arts. A 2022 Series D funding round of $30 million and a subsequent strategic equity investment and joint laboratory with German specialty chemicals company Evonik provide capital and materials-partner backing for ongoing geographic and product expansion, including the 2026 North American debut of the MUEES430 PRO metal printer.
