Neo800+ increases throughput by up to 50% and expands SLA applications like wind tunnel testing and tooling.
Stratasys Ltd. announced the launch of the Neo800+, the latest addition to its stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer lineup. Building on the success of the Neo800, the new Neo800+ delivers fast print speeds, high part yield, and low production costs, making it a powerful solution for industries that require large, accurate, and repeatable high-fidelity parts. These advanced features and capabilities address evolving customer needs for uses including wind tunnel testing, prototyping, and tooling.
The Neo800+ features ScanControl+, a scanning technology that increases printing speeds by up to 50 percent while maintaining precision. The enhanced laser and optics system supports high-energy materials, ensuring precision part production with superior surface quality. Real-world performance benchmarks have shown ScanControl+ to improve time-to-part by 39% on average and by 44% or more on applications such as tooling molds dependent on materials used. The improved print accuracy reduces post-processing requirements, lowering the overall cost per part.
The Neo800+ includes features such as vacuum system protection, Z-stage collision detection, and real-time environmental monitoring to improve uptime and consistency. These capabilities support production efficiency and help maintain reliable, high-quality results.
The Neo800+ is optimized for ScanControl+ Ready Materials from Somos, ensuring outstanding part accuracy and first-time print success. A major highlight is the introduction of Somos WaterShed XC+, a new material engineered specifically for the Neo800+. Built on the widely used Somos WaterShed XC 11122, this resin produces clear, smooth-finish parts at faster scan speeds while maintaining part quality, making it suitable for automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics applications.
Stratasys provides a complete SLA ecosystem, including cost-effective GrabCAD Print build preparation software and post-processing solutions to enhance SLA workflows. Along with the Neo800+ 3D printer and ScanControl+ Ready Materials, these solutions streamline production and maximize efficiency.
