North Channel 3D and UnionTech Announce Strategic Partnership to Expand Industrial Additive Manufacturing across North America
Minnesota, USA — April 2026
North Channel 3D today announced a strategic partnership with UnionTech, a global leader in industrial additive manufacturing systems. Under the agreement, North Channel 3D will serve as UnionTech’s commercialization platform for North America, providing sales, applications support, service, materials, and spare parts infrastructure across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Founded more than twenty years ago, UnionTech has become one of the most established innovators in stereolithography technology, with tens of thousands of 3D printers installed worldwide across industries including automotive, aerospace, consumer products, medical, and tooling. Despite this global footprint, the company’s installed base in North America has remained relatively limited due to the absence of dedicated regional infrastructure.
North Channel 3D was founded to address this gap by bringing world class manufacturing technologies to North America and supporting them locally with the commercial and technical infrastructure required for long term industrial adoption.
“We were very selective in choosing a partner,” said Paul Carlson, Founder of North Channel 3D. “UnionTech stood out for its strong technology platform, more than two decades of innovation, and a reputation for helping customers solve critical design and manufacturing challenges.”
Through the partnership, North Channel 3D will establish a North American demonstration and applications facility and will develop a regional partner network to support customers throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
UnionTech’s technology portfolio includes a range of industrial stereolithography systems widely used for functional prototyping, tooling, and production applications. The company is also expanding into metal additive manufacturing. Yesterday, UnionTech unveiled its MUEES430 PRO selective laser melting system to the North American market, expanding its capabilities into high performance metal additive manufacturing.
“UnionTech has spent more than two decades building one of the most advanced additive manufacturing platforms in the world,” said Harry Wang, Vice President of Sales at UnionTech. “With a strong global installation base, we have seen strong adoption across Asia and Europe. Partnering with North Channel 3D allows us to establish the local infrastructure necessary to support customers across North America and accelerate adoption of both our polymer and metal additive technologies.”
Additional details regarding the North American technology rollout and partner network will be announced in the coming months.
