Stereolithography (or SLA) is one of the industry’s most established 3D printer technologies. An alternative to traditional methods of manufacturing for prototyping, tooling and master patterns, stereolithography technology is renowned for producing accurate, detailed parts with smooth sidewall quality. Due to the ease and speed to iterate designs and print, along with a wide range of materials to suit specific applications, stereolithography continues to be the go-to 3D printer for designers and engineers. Stereolithography is considered a proven technology since the 1980s. However, over the ensuing decades, reliability and productivity issues of aging SLA systems were becoming problematic and required improvement. Users were demanding a system that focused on print quality, reliability and uptime. A small group of engineers saw this need for improvement and identified a gap in the market, and a new generation of stereolithography printer technology was born: the Neo
