Uniz
ActiveOverview
Uniz Technology (also known as UNIZ Technology LLC) develops and manufactures high-speed resin 3D printers, primarily using proprietary Uni-Directional Peel (UDP) technology for fast printing with high resolution. The company targets professional applications including dental, medical, aerospace, and automotive sectors, with products supporting specialized resins for smooth surfaces, strength, and transparency. It maintains a global presence with headquarters in the US, manufacturing in China, and service centers in the US and Netherlands.23
History
UniZ Technology LLC was co-founded by a group of engineers in February 2014 in San Diego, California, initially as a technology startup focused on affordable high-performance 3D printing tools.3 The company developed the proprietary UDP technology after over two years of R&D, enabling printing speeds up to 100 times faster than conventional resin methods by reducing peel motions and optimizing resins, light engines, and cooling.1 Key milestones include launching desktop resin printers like Slash series for professional use and expanding to larger models like Slash Pro for industrial applications such as aerospace.12

Reputation
Uniz is recognized by professionals for pioneering fast UDP resin printing with high resolution and smooth finishes, ideal for medical and dental applications.1 Enthusiasts praise the speed gains over traditional SLA but note requirements for proprietary resins and potential learning curve for optimal settings.1 Some criticism exists around limited FDM options and dependence on specific materials.1
