PioCreat 3D, printing has officially announced the acquisition of HALOT resin printer line from Creality, marking a significant shift in the consumer resin printing market. The industrial-grade 3D printing brand, established by one of Creality’s founders, will now independently operate the popular HALOT series with plans to apply its industrial expertise to enhance the product line while maintaining the features that have earned consumer trust.
The strategic acquisition allows PioCreat 3D to respond more quickly to market changes and customer needs in the resin printing segment. By bringing the consumer-focused HALOT line under the same roof as its industrial solutions, PioCreat aims to create synergies between different market segments and accelerate product development cycles for both consumer and professional applications.
Acquisition of HALOT Resin Printer line
The merger of the HALOT series into PioCreat 3D represents a calculated business move designed to streamline operations and focus development resources. This consolidation enables PioCreat to leverage its technical expertise across both consumer and industrial product lines, potentially accelerating innovation in resin 3D printing technology.
Fred Liu, who co-founded both Creality and PioCreat 3D, explained the strategic value of the acquisition: “This is an exciting chapter for both PioCreat 3D and the HALOT series. With over nine years of experience in the 3D printing industry and technical expertise, we are poised to redefine resin 3D printing, delivering solutions that empower industries and creators worldwide.”
The HALOT printers have built a strong reputation for precision, reliability, and user-friendly operation among hobbyists, small businesses, and professionals working in fields that require high-detail printing. By operating independently from Creality, PioCreat can now make faster decisions about product development and market strategy without navigating the approval processes of a larger organisation.
This autonomy positions PioCreat to rapidly adapt to emerging opportunities in specialised markets such as jewellery design, dental applications, engineering prototyping, and small-scale manufacturing where resin printing offers significant advantages over other methods.
Continuity and Support for Existing Users
Current HALOT series users will experience no disruption in service or support as a result of this transition. PioCreat 3D has confirmed that all existing warranty commitments will be honoured, and users will continue to receive software updates and technical support with the same level of quality they have come to expect.
To ensure a smooth transition, PioCreat 3D is launching a dedicated website and support channels specifically for HALOT products. These resources will provide users with access to troubleshooting guides, firmware updates, and direct communication with technical support staff familiar with the HALOT series.
The company has emphasised that this acquisition will not result in any degradation of service for existing customers. Instead, PioCreat aims to enhance the user experience by bringing additional resources and expertise to the HALOT product line while maintaining the reliability that has made these printers popular among resin printing enthusiasts.
This commitment to continuity reflects an understanding of the importance of customer confidence in the rapidly evolving 3D printing market, where users often make significant investments in ecosystems of hardware, software, and materials.
Future Development Under PioCreat 3D
With the HALOT series now under its management, PioCreat 3D has announced plans to introduce new features and models that build upon the established strengths of the product line. The company’s experience in industrial applications offers potential for bringing more professional features to consumer-level devices.
PioCreat’s expertise in industrial-grade 3D printing is expected to benefit the HALOT series through improvements in precision, reliability, and material compatibility. The cross-pollination of technologies between consumer and industrial lines could accelerate the development of both segments, potentially leading to more capable machines at competitive price points.
The acquisition may also lead to expanded material options for HALOT printers, as PioCreat brings its knowledge of industrial resins and their applications to the consumer space. This could open new possibilities for hobbyists and small businesses looking to create functional parts with specific mechanical or aesthetic properties.
By focusing on targeted solutions for sectors like jewellery, dental, engineering, and manufacturing, PioCreat aims to position the HALOT series as a bridge between consumer convenience and professional capabilities, addressing the growing “prosumer” segment of the market.
