Stratasys Neo® 800+
Large-format SLA system for applications where accuracy, surface finish, resin route, and workflow requirements need to be reviewed.
SLA
SLA stereolithography is a photopolymer additive manufacturing process used for precise models, tooling patterns, and visual or functional prototypes. D2M helps clients assess whether SLA fits the application, material route, accuracy requirement, and workflow.
- Accuracy and surface-finish needs reviewed first
- Resin route assessed against the application
- Post-processing and inspection planned before use
- System selection tied to size, utilization, and workflow
Process considerations
Helps teams assess when SLA is the right route for detailed models or tooling patterns.
Connects resin choice to accuracy, finish, and downstream process needs.
Defines post-processing, inspection, and documentation before implementation.
Keeps printer selection tied to application demand and operating workflow.
How the Technology Is Assessed
SLA should be evaluated against the application, material requirement, build or measurement envelope, operating environment, post-processing needs, and inspection route.
The process route is only one part of the system. Teams also need file control, operator workflow, quality records, maintenance planning, and clear approval points before the technology becomes an operating capability.
Why the Selection Process Matters
SLA may be useful where its process characteristics match the application requirement. It should not be selected because it is available or familiar.
D2M compares candidate applications, materials, production constraints, inspection needs, and commercial assumptions before recommending a route. The result is a technology decision tied to workflow and governance, not a machine-led purchase.

Application and industry context
Relevant industries
SLA can support applications where surface finish, detail, and dimensional requirements matter, provided the material route and documentation needs are defined.
Application opportunities
Candidate SLA applications are reviewed against accuracy needs, material behavior, inspection route, downstream process, and documentation requirements.
