Stratasys Expands Stereolithography Product Line

Stratasys Ltd. has launched the Neo 800+ during the Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) 2025 conference, 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, made for industries that require large, accurate, and repeatable high-fidelity parts, according to Stratasys. These advanced features and capabilities address evolving customer needs for uses including wind tunnel testing, prototyping, and tooling, the company adds.

The Neo800+ incorporates ScanControl+, a scanning technology that boosts printing speeds by up to 50%, enabling quicker production. The enhanced laser and optics system supports high-energy materials. 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, Stratasys reports. 

Advanced reliability features of the Neo800+, including Vacuum System Protection, Z-Stage Collision Detection, and real-time environmental monitoring, enhance uptime and consistency. These features contribute to greater production efficiency.

“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,” says 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 success. A major highlight is the introduction of Somos WaterShed XC+, a new material engineered specifically for the Neo800+. Based on the Somos WaterShed XC 11122, this next-generation resin delivers optically clear parts with a smooth finish while enabling much faster scan speeds, making it ideal for applications in automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics, the company notes.

Stratasys provides a complete SLA ecosystem, including cost-effective GrabCAD Print Build Preparation Software and post-processing solutions to enhance SLA workflows. 

“The improved speed has allowed us to increase throughput and maintain open capacity as well as offer quicker turnaround times to our customers,” says Sean Schoonmaker, director, Operations, Stratasys Direct Manufacturing. “

Stratasys officially announced the Neo800+ at AMUG, followed by a launch event at RAPID + TCT on April 8, 2025, at 3 p.m., featuring Yoav Zeif, CEO of Stratasys, and representatives from Rivian Automotive.
