Faster, Better Parts

Having this technology has been a huge leap for us as a company. I think the biggest advantage we’ve seen with the neo is the reliability of the machine. Our prototype time is down 50%. The DATRON neo is 20% faster in cycle time with far better detail and quality in the finished part.
