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+ incorporates ScanControl+™, a cutting-edge scanning technology that boosts printing speeds by up to 50 per cent, enabling quicker production without sacrificing 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 per cent on average and by 44 per cent or more on applications such as tooling molds dependent on materials used. The superior print accuracy also minimizes post-processing needs, leading to a lower total cost per part.
Advanced reliability features of the Neo800+, including Vacuum System Protection, Z-Stage Collision Detection, and real-time environmental monitoring, further enhance uptime and consistency. These features contribute to greater production efficiency, ensuring reliability for consistent, high-quality 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 optimised 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+. Based on the widely used Somos WaterShed XC 11122, this next-generation resin delivers optically clear parts with a smooth finish while enabling much faster scan speeds, without compromising on part quality, making it ideal for applications in automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics.
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.
“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.”
Stratasys officially announced the Neo800+ at the Additive Manufacturer’s User Group conference (AMUG) on March 31, 2025, followed by a launch event at Rapid TCT on April 8, 2025, featuring Yoav Zeif, CEO of Stratasys, and representatives from Rivian Automotive.
