At RAPID + TCT 2026, 3D Systems introduced its SLA 825 Dual to the U.S. market, a next-generation stereolithography system engineered to increase production output while maintaining the accuracy and consistency required for industrial manufacturing.
The company also debuted AddiTrak, a factory-floor software platform purpose-built for managing connected 3D Systems production environments.
The SLA 825 Dual features a 22% larger build volume and provides up to 25% faster build speeds than its predecessor, the company says, enabling customers to run more builds per shift and consolidate more parts per platform. The system supports demanding applications such as motorsports, full-scale precision prototyping and investment casting patterns, where yield, dimensional accuracy and repeatability are critical.
By combining higher throughput with proven SLA precision, the SLA 825 Dual provides manufacturers with a scalable solution for transitioning stereolithography into high-volume production workflows.
As additive manufacturing scales, fleet-level visibility and process control become essential to maintaining productivity, quality and on-time delivery in production environments.
To address these needs, 3D Systems has introduced AddiTrak, a secure, on-premises software platform designed specifically for the entire range of 3D Systems printers and accompanying workflows.
AddiTrak provides centralized monitoring, analytics and optimization across the production floor through a unified dashboard, while supporting Industry 4.0-compatible connectivity including MTConnect and OPC UA.
AddiTrak is fully native to the 3D Systems ecosystem and integrates seamlessly with 3D Sprint, enabling a connected, end-to-end workflow — from job preparation and scheduling through build execution and performance analysis — across the entire printing fleet.
Sensitive design and process data is secured, as AddiTrak is fully on-premises and under their control, through all stages of the manufacturing process.
