CutLayer Systems

Thermwood's CutLayer system transforms sheet materials like composites, aluminum, wood, MDF, foam, and plastics into large, production-ready tooling, molds, and patterns with precision-cut, aligned, and bonded layers.

  • Design: Start with a CAD model of your tool, mold, or pattern.
  • Layering: Software slices the design into precise, efficiently nested layers.
  • CNC Cutting: Each layer is cut with CNC precision.
  • Assembly: Layers are stacked, aligned, and bonded.
  • Ready to Use: The final tooling is durable, accurate, and waste-efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are Thermwood CNC routers made?

Thermwood CNC routers and additive manufacturing systems are American-made at Thermwood's facility in Dale, Indiana. Thermwood is the oldest manufacturer of highly flexible 3-axis and 5-axis high-speed machining centers known as CNC routers.

What types of CNC machines does Thermwood make?

Thermwood manufactures 3-axis CNC routers for woodworking, cabinet making, plastics, and composites; 5-axis CNC routers for aerospace, trimming, patterns, and molds; LSAM large format additive manufacturing systems for industrial 3D printing of large composite parts and tooling; the CutLayer additive system for producing tooling and molds from sheet materials; and the Cut Ready Cut Center, an AI-powered cabinetmaking production solution.

What industries does Thermwood serve?

Thermwood serves a wide range of industries including woodworking and cabinet making, aerospace, automotive, composites, marine and boat building, furniture, architectural millwork, plastic fabrication, military and defense, wind energy, medical, education, and residential and commercial construction.

What is Thermwood's LSAM large format additive manufacturing system?

Thermwood's LSAM (Large Scale Additive Manufacturing) system is the broadest line of large format additive printers available, offering both print-only and print-and-trim models in sizes from 10x10 up to 15-foot wide and 60-foot long. It produces the highest quality thermoplastic composite parts for aerospace tooling, industrial fixtures, master patterns, and molds.

What is the Thermwood CutLayer system?

The Thermwood CutLayer system is an additive manufacturing process that produces large near-net-shape parts from sheet materials including composites, wood, composite board, aluminum, and other machinable sheet materials. It slices a CAD model into layers, cuts each layer with CNC precision, then stacks, aligns, and bonds the layers to produce durable, accurate tooling, molds, and patterns at low cost.
