Unionfab Expands AI Metal 3D Printing Services to North America and Europe

Unionfab has expanded its industrial metal 3D printing services to the United States, Canada, and Germany, according to a press release. The company said it can now reduce low-volume metal parts production cycles from more than 30 days to as fast as 5 days using multi-laser printing systems and an AI manufacturing platform.

Unionfab, affiliated with UnionTech, operates over 100 industrial metal 3D printing systems, including four-laser and six-laser selective laser melting (SLM) systems. These multi-laser platforms improve printing efficiency by up to 40 percent and reduce manufacturing costs by about 30 percent compared with conventional dual-laser machines.

The company uses proprietary AI process pre-compensation technology to achieve high-speed printing with 0.6-millimeter layer thickness, maintaining material density and surface quality. Supported materials include stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, copper alloys, and Inconel. Unionfab also developed an aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, Al901X, designed for heat resistance and structural strength.

With more than 1,000 industrial 3D printers and 400 CNC machines, Unionfab provides integrated manufacturing services, combining 3D printing, CNC machining, injection molding, sheet metal, and rapid casting for clients from prototyping through large-scale production.
