3D Printing: UnionTech Sets New Standards with Synchronized Operation


 
  • UnionTech introduces synchronized operation and automatic calibration for enhanced efficiency in 3D printing.

  • Innovative splicing technology improves mechanical properties and ensures part quality.

  • UnionTech's large-format 3D printing innovation delivers dimensional accuracy and surface quality for large parts.

 

Enhanced Efficiency through Synchronized Operation: UnionTech Introduces Innovative Technologies.

UnionTech sets new standards in 3D printing with synchronized operation and automatic calibration.
UnionTech sets new standards in 3D printing with synchronized operation and automatic calibration.

In its innovative approach, UnionTech combines multi-scanner 3D printing with a multi-laser system, simplifying optical system design and providing cost-saving benefits. However, achieving synchronized operation with multiple lasers remains a challenge in the industry. UnionTech's R&D team has developed sophisticated algorithms and system upgrades to achieve synchronized control of each laser, doubling printing speed and efficiency.


UnionTech's automatic calibration technology for multi-scanners uses precise positioning to avoid the complexities of designing and using large calibration plates. Unlike the general manual method, UnionTech's multiple galvanometer series 3D printer can establish 1798 calibration points with a spot position detector, achieving a fully automated calibration process with 0.06–0.1 mm accuracy. This process eliminates human error, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the printed parts.


UnionTech's R&D team is also working on enhancing the splicing overlap area of their 3D printers. They have developed a new splicing scanning algorithm that seamlessly joins the two halves of the same molding part scanned by adjacent scanners. UnionTech's ‘cross splicing’ technology ensures that both the surface quality and mechanical integrity of the molded parts in the splice area are preserved, achieving over 90% similarity to parts scanned by a single scanner.


Dr. Qingxiao Yu, VP and General Manager of the R&D Center at UnionTech, underscores the company's commitment to leading in innovative technologies. UnionTech has introduced China’s first large-format multi-scanner automatic calibration technology. This development ensures stable and precise calibration of multiple scanners, correcting scanning distortions and maintaining the molding accuracy of large-sized printed parts.


UnionTech's innovative approach to 3D printing stems from continuous efforts and innovation, underscored by algorithm upgrades, process improvements, and advances in technology research. UnionTech is committed to overcoming real-world challenges while prioritizing customer needs. The ultimate goal of this technology is to accelerate the transition to intelligent manufacturing and create infinite possibilities for businesses to increase revenue.
