Explore Thermwood's Patented Bead Board Substrate

In our latest installment on the transformative power of Thermwood’s Large Scale Additive Manufacturing (LSAM) systems, we're showcasing an clever innovation that’s reshaping additive manufacturing: the Patented Bead Board Substrate.
 
This unique substrate offers unparalleled strength and flexibility, providing a stable foundation for your printed parts while preventing stress and distortion—a common issue in traditional substrates. With advantages like a strong initial tack, secure holding during printing, and effortless removal with basic tools, our bead board substrate sets a new standard in reliability and reusability. Join us as we explore how LSAM technology from Thermwood continues to lead the way in advanced manufacturing solutions!
 

Some Powerful Advantages:
• Strong initial tack
• Allows the printed part to float during its initial contact
• Holds strong throughout the entire printing process
• Prevents distortion/stresses that build in other substrates
• Holds well enough for initial machining operations
• Removed easily with simple everyday tools
• Reusable and repairable

Thermwood has been the market and technology leader in Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) since 2016, thanks to our groundbreaking LSAM (Large Scale Additive Manufacturing) systems.
