By combining massive build volumes with up to 50% faster print speeds, the new Neo800+ allows regional aerospace and automotive sectors to rapidly produce flawless large-scale prototypes and wind tunnel models.
DUBAI, UAE – 01.04.2025– The Design to Manufacturing Co. (theD2Mco), the region’s premier Platinum Stratasys Partner, today announced the regional launch of the Neo®800+, the next generation of high-speed, large-format stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing.
Building on the proven reliability of the highly successful Neo800, this new platform addresses the evolving needs of the Middle East's rapidly growing aerospace, automotive, and industrial tooling sectors, offering unprecedented throughput for massive, high-fidelity parts.
Accelerating Large-Format Production
At the core of the Neo800+ is the new ScanControl+™ technology, a current laser scanning system that boosts printing speeds by up to 50 percent without sacrificing precision. For manufacturers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, this means massive, optically clear prototypes, tooling molds, and wind tunnel testing models can be produced in a fraction of the time. Real-world performance benchmarks demonstrate an average 39% reduction in time-to-part.
"When dealing with large-scale wind tunnel models or complex automotive molds, machine speed and surface finish dictate your entire production schedule," said Alex Papantoniou, Director KSA at theD2Mco. "The Neo800+ directly addresses the capacity bottlenecks our regional clients face. By cutting print times almost in half while maintaining specified accuracy, we are enabling local manufacturers to iterate faster and free up machine capacity for other high-value jobs."
Next-Generation Materials and Reliability
To support this massive increase in speed, the Neo800+ features advanced reliability protocols, including Vacuum System Protection, Z-Stage Collision Detection, and real-time environmental monitoring to ensure maximum uptime for critical production cycles.
The launch also introduces Somos® WaterShed® XC+, a next-generation resin engineered specifically for the Neo800+. This advanced material delivers optically clear, smooth-finish parts at incredibly fast scan speeds, severely minimizing post-processing requirements and lowering the total cost per part.
Availability
The Stratasys Neo800+ large-format SLA printer, along with the complete portfolio of ScanControl+ Ready Materials, is available immediately to industrial operators across the region through The Design to Manufacturing Co. Our technical team is ready to consult on facility integration and high-speed SLA workflow optimization.
