Research and development 3D printer Neo® series

vat photopolymerizationSLAhigh-speed

Overview
Engineered for engineers. The NEO® series stereolithography (SLA) 3D printers deliver parts with excellent surface finish, dimensional accuracy and fine detail, using an open resin system compatible with 355 nm commercial resins.

Key benefits

• Reduce post-processing time by up to 50%.
• Open resin system (compatible with commercial 355 nm resins).
• Proven reliability and quality assurance for continuous production use.

Detailed advantages

• Dimensional accuracy with exceptional sidewall quality and high-detail resolution, enabling significant reductions in finishing time.
• Material freedom via an open resin system that accepts any 355 nm resin on the market.
• Robust, serviceable hardware design using industry-grade components for reliable 24/7 operation.
• Documented continuous operation in demanding environments (e.g., motorsport teams, service bureaus, industrial manufacturers).

Technical features

• Technology: Next-generation stereolithography (SLA).
• Resin system: open (compatible with commercial 355 nm resins).
• High-power laser with dynamic, variable beam-size control for improved precision and speed.
• Titanium software features (traceability, reporting, intuitive UI) and GrabCAD Print support for build preparation.

Compatible / recommended materials

• Somos® WaterShed XC+; WaterShed XC 11122; WaterShed AF; WaterShed Black.
• Somos® PerFORM (for rigid, heat-resistant composite-like parts).
• Somos® Evolve (designed to simplify post-processing and mimic thermoplastic look and performance).

Typical applications

• Rapid prototyping: concept models, communication models, functional fit-and-form parts.
• Jigs and fixtures: large-format tooling and verification models.
• Investment casting patterns: tools and molds for low-volume production.
• Composite tooling: 3D-printed tools for small-run production of final parts.
