EDEN PRAIRIE, MN and REHOVOT, Israel, Apr 3, 2025 – Stratasys Ltd. has announced the launch of the Neo800+, the latest addition to its stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer lineup. Neo800+ offers improved print speed, consistent part quality, and reduced production costs. It is suited for applications such as wind tunnel testing, prototyping, and tooling where accurate and repeatable parts are needed.
The Neo800+ incorporates ScanControl+, a scanning technology that boosts printing speeds by up to 50 percent, enabling production with precision. The upgraded laser and optics system enables precise manufacturing of high-energy materials, delivering advanced surface quality in finished parts. Performance tests show that ScanControl+ reduces the average production time by 39%, with improvements reaching 44% or more for applications like tooling molds, depending on the material. The superior print accuracy also minimizes post-processing needs, reducing the total cost per part.
The Neo800+’s advanced features, including vacuum system protection, z-stage collision detection, and real-time environmental monitoring, further enhance uptime and stability. These features improve efficiency and support consistent results.
“Engineered with precision and performance in mind, the Neo800+ is designed to meet the growing demands of industries like automotive and aerospace, where high-speed production and flawless part quality are critical,” said Rich Garrity, chief business unit officer, Stratasys. “Whether you’re designing prototypes or manufacturing end-use parts, the Neo800+ delivers exceptional throughput and reliability.”
The Neo800+ is optimized for ScanControl+ ready materials from Somos, ensuring part accuracy and first-time print. A major highlight is the introduction of Somos WaterShed XC+, a material engineered for the Neo800+. Based on the commonly used Somos WaterShed XC 11122, this next-generation resin produces clear parts with a smooth finish and supports faster scan speeds while maintaining part quality for use in automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics.
Stratasys provides a 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.
“The improved speed has allowed us to increase throughput and maintain open capacity as well as offer quicker turnaround times to our customers,” said Sean Schoonmaker, director, operations, Stratasys direct manufacturing. “The quality and consistency of the prints have been outstanding, with an excellent surface finish that helps save on post processing time for cosmetic models. We’re seeing sharper detailed features and consistent accuracy well within our standard tolerances.”
