Key Highlights

  • Introduces SLA® 825 Dual, a next-generation dual-laser production system now available world-wide, delivering over 20% larger build volumes and up to 30% faster print speeds versus competitive systems, enabling higher throughput for precision production applications.
  • Launches AddiTrak™, an advanced integrated software platform for 3D Systems additive manufacturing, delivering secure, on-premises, real-time fleet monitoring, process control, data collection, and customizable analytics.
  • 3D Systems’ comprehensive range of technologies and application expertise enabling real-world production adoption across metals and polymers, driven by accelerating customer demand in aerospace & defense, automotive, healthcare, and industrial markets.

ROCK HILL, S.C., April 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) today announced new hardware, software, and applications that are enabling customers to scale additive manufacturing into production environments requiring high throughput, reliability, repeatability, and process control.

At RAPID + TCT 2026 (Booth #1801), 3D Systems will introduce the new SLA 825 Dual to the U.S. market, a next-generation stereolithography system engineered to significantly increase production output while maintaining the accuracy and consistency required for industrial manufacturing. The company will also debut AddiTrak™, a factory-floor software platform purpose-built for managing connected 3D Systems production environments.

These innovations reinforce 3D Systems’ strategy to deliver production-ready additive manufacturing solutions that integrate hardware, software, materials, and application expertise to help customers move beyond prototyping and into scaled manufacturing.

Maximizing SLA Speed, Productivity, and Consistency with SLA 825 Dual

The SLA 825 Dual features a 22% larger build volume and delivers up to 25% faster build speeds than its predecessor, enabling customers to run more builds per shift and consolidate more parts per platform. Designed for high-utilization environments, 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.

Driving Fleet Visibility and Factory Efficiency with AddiTrak™

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 is introducing 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.

Customers can rely on security of their sensitive design and process data, as AddiTrak is fully on-premises and under their control, through all stages of the manufacturing process.

Presenting Real-World Production Examples

3D Systems will also highlight customer application examples which demonstrate additive manufacturing supporting production. One of these is Eureka Pumps AS, based in Norway, which has partnered with 3D Systems to manufacture large-format metal spare parts on demand, using 3D Systems Direct Metal Printing (DMP) technology.

This production model helps address part obsolescence, extended lead times, and inventory constraints, illustrating how additive manufacturing can strengthen supply chain resilience and responsiveness, while reducing working capital needs, in mission-critical industrial environments.

By pairing advanced printing platforms with specialized materials, software, and application development expertise, 3D Systems continues to rapidly expand the range of production problems that additive manufacturing can solve.

“The industrialization of additive manufacturing continues to accelerate as more companies realize its ability to deliver both performance gains through design innovation and operational flexibility through digital production,” said Patrick Dunne, SVP, Technical Fellow, 3D Systems.

CEO Commentary

“Over the past several years, we’ve made disciplined investments to refresh our portfolio and focus on manufacturing applications where additive delivers the greatest value,” said Dr. Jeff Graves, President and CEO, 3D Systems. “At RAPID + TCT 2026, we’re demonstrating how those investments are translating into production-focused solutions, from high-throughput stereolithography to connected software platforms that improve visibility and control across the full range of factory environments. These capabilities position our customers to apply additive manufacturing where precision, productivity, and part complexity matter most.”
