Precision and Productivity for Demanding Industries<\/h2>\n

The SLA 825 Dual is built for industries where accuracy and surface finish are non-negotiable. Foundries, aerospace and defense firms, automotive and motorsport companies, and service bureaus all stand to\u00a0benefit\u00a0from the system\u2019s combination of capacity and consistency.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Typical applications range from<\/span>\u00a0full-scale wind tunnel models\u00a0and\u00a0investment casting patterns\u00a0to\u00a0aesthetic design verification\u00a0and\u00a0functional prototypes.\u00a0<\/span>It also supports\u00a0<\/span>low-volume production\u00a0of general manufacturing and consumer goods, as well as\u00a0mandrel tooling.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To deliver these results, the printer uses dual 4W lasers powered by 3D Systems\u2019 proprietary\u00a0HyperScan\u00a0Technology, achieving a 100\u00a0\u03bcm\u00a0layer resolution<\/a> and a feature size down to 0.127 mm (0.005 in) in XY. These features allow manufacturers to achieve the\u00a0fine\u00a0details\u00a0and surface quality SLA is known for, even at large scales.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Versatile Material Compatibility and Post-Processing Solutions<\/h2>\n

The SLA 825 Dual supports the Accura AMX family of production-grade resins<\/a>, available in a range of colors and mechanical properties. It also accommodates specialized materials such as\u00a0QuickCast\u00ae\u00a0resins for investment casting, wind tunnel F1 formulations, and general-purpose photopolymers, allowing users to tailor their process to specific application needs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To ensure printed parts reach their full mechanical and dimensional potential, 3D Systems\u00a0also\u00a0offers dedicated post-processing solutions. The\u00a0PostCure\u00a01050 is\u00a0optimized\u00a0for large parts from the SLA 825 Dual, delivering uniform and efficient curing even at the biggest build sizes. For smaller or mixed workflows, the Cure 400 offers a compact, versatile alternative.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Streamlined Workflow with 3D Sprint\u00ae\u00a0Software<\/h2>\n

Beyond the hardware, the SLA 825 Dual integrates seamlessly with 3D\u00a0Systems\u2019\u00a03D Sprint\u00ae\u00a0software<\/a>, a single, comprehensive platform for file preparation, optimization, and printer management.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With 3D Sprint\u00ae, users can go from CAD to print without switching between multiple programs. The\u00a0software\u2019s\u00a0tools for CAD optimization, data management, and printer monitoring help minimize downtime and streamline production. Its intuitive interface is designed to maximize productivity, ensuring that operators can focus on output rather than troubleshooting.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
