Thermwood announces an all-new large format additive process

Called “Cut Layer Additive”, this new additive approach produces large format, near-net-shape parts nat incredibly low cost, using a lower cost additive machine. Unlike large format additive printers (like Thermwood’s LSAM), the new process makes large parts from a variety of materials that can’t be printed. Cut Layer Additive parts are similar to large additively printed parts, in that they are essentially hollow structures made in layers. However, instead of printing the layers, they are instead cut from thick sheets.
