Stratasys unveils faster Neo800+ 3D printer

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. & REHOVOT, Israel - Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS), a leader in 3D printing solutions, announced the release of its new Neo800+ stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer. The latest model boasts up to 50% faster print speeds and expanded capabilities, targeting industries that require large, precise, and high-fidelity parts such as automotive and aerospace.

The Neo800+ features ScanControl+™ technology, which enhances printing speed significantly, with benchmarks showing an average improvement of 39% in time-to-part. This technology is especially beneficial for applications like tooling molds, where material choice influences the speed increase, potentially reaching 44% or more. The advanced laser and optics system of the printer permits the use of high-energy materials, ensuring detailed precision and surface quality while reducing the need for post-processing.

Stratasys introduced the Neo800+ at the Additive Manufacturer’s User Group conference on March 31, 2025, and will showcase it at the upcoming Rapid TCT event on April 8, 2025, in Detroit, MI. The printer is designed to support ScanControl+ Ready Materials from Somos®, including the new Somos® WaterShed® XC+, a resin that produces optically clear parts with a smooth finish, suitable for the automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics sectors.

Rich Garrity, Chief Business Unit Officer at Stratasys, emphasized the Neo800+’s ability to meet the increasing demands for high-speed production and flawless part quality. The printer also includes advanced reliability features like Vacuum System Protection, Z-Stage Collision Detection, and real-time environmental monitoring, which contribute to consistent, high-quality output and improved production efficiency.

Stratasys Direct Manufacturing’s Director of Operations, Sean Schoonmaker, noted the printer’s exceptional surface finish and detailed feature sharpness, which aligns with their standard tolerances and reduces post-processing time.

Stratasys continues to lead in the additive manufacturing industry, providing a full SLA ecosystem that includes the GrabCAD Print Build Preparation Software and post-processing solutions to streamline production.
