en.Wedoany.com Reported - Shanghai-based digital manufacturing platform Unionfab (under UnionTech) has announced it has compressed the production cycle for some small-batch metal parts from 30 days down to 5 days, a move aimed at accelerating the deployment of its metal additive manufacturing services in the United States, Canada, and Germany.

This advancement is attributed to the combination of multi-laser Selective Laser Melting (SLM) systems and AI process pre-compensation technology. Unionfab currently operates over 100 industrial metal 3D printing devices, among which four-laser and six-laser SLM platforms have entered mass production.

Compared to traditional dual-laser systems, its multi-laser configuration increases printing efficiency by up to 40%, while reducing manufacturing costs by approximately 30%.

The AI pre-compensation technology enables high-speed printing at a 0.6mm layer thickness while maintaining high density and uniform surface quality. Unionfab supports a variety of industrial-grade materials and has now deployed over 1,000 industrial 3D printers and 400 CNC machines—a significant increase from the nearly 800 devices inventoried by VoxelMatters last year. The company offers a full-chain manufacturing service covering 3D printing, CNC machining, injection molding, sheet metal fabrication, and rapid casting.

Unionfab CEO Allen Yang stated: "Over the past few years, China's metal 3D printing industry has undergone rapid technological iteration and industrial maturation. Continuous innovation from equipment manufacturers, material supply chains, and manufacturing service providers is driving swift improvements in printing efficiency, process stability, and overall manufacturing costs." He said: "We believe this is a critical juncture for global manufacturers to re-examine how complex metal parts are developed and produced."
