Today, we’re highlighting **Thermwood’s Patented Chilled Compression Wheel **— engineered for precision, bead consistency, and enhanced bonding strength, delivering fused structures that surpass aerospace standards. See how Thermwood’s LSAM continues to lead in Large Format Additive Manufacturing!    𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬: • Finishes the bead's final shape and dimension • Provides important active bead compaction • The nozzle tip is slightly above the finished bead height • Nozzle tip does not drag through the material to form the final shape • Prevents excessive material build up on the nozzle • Temperature controlled only to prevent polymer affinity (sticking to wheel) • Removal of inter-bead voids • Consistency in printed composite microstructures • Enhances interlayer bonding • Enhances lateral bead to bead solidity • Layer-to-layer fusion is over 50% GREATER in strength when compared to methods that utilize a tamping device or those that have no application device at all. • This results in fused, solid structures that hold vacuum exceeding aerospace standards, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 the need for fill compounds or sealants. Thermwood has been the market and technology [leader in Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) since 2016](https://blog.thermwood.com/en-us/en-us/en-us/lsam-has-been-the-market-and-technology-leader-in-lfam-since-2016), thanks to our groundbreaking LSAM (Large Scale Additive Manufacturing) systems.    𝐋𝐒𝐀𝐌 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫: - Superior Print Consistency - Dynamic Control of Print Temperature - Large Scale Focused Slicing Software - Confidence Through Thermwood's Legendary Training, Service and Support Stay tuned for more insights into how our LSAM systems are revolutionizing large format additive manufacturing!  [![Explore Thermwood's Patented LSAM Chilled Compression Wheel](https://blog.thermwood.com/hs-fs/hubfs/pbs.twimg.commediaGO7Y1NEXQAAWcTT.png?width=503&height=172&name=pbs.twimg.commediaGO7Y1NEXQAAWcTT.png)](https://blog.thermwood.com/en-us/en-us/en-us/lsam-has-been-the-market-and-technology-leader-in-lfam-since-2016)   [![Explore Thermwood's Patented LSAM Chilled Compression Wheel](https://blog.thermwood.com/hs-fs/hubfs/pbs.twimg.commediaGO7Y1NEWAAAoUls.png?width=698&height=393&name=pbs.twimg.commediaGO7Y1NEWAAAoUls.png)](https://blog.thermwood.com/en-us/en-us/en-us/lsam-has-been-the-market-and-technology-leader-in-lfam-since-2016)   **𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝘂𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 at JEC 2025!** [![See LSAM printing LIVE at JEC World 2025](https://blog.thermwood.com/hs-fs/hubfs/jec_2025_live_printing_image.jpg?width=1290&height=890&name=jec_2025_live_printing_image.jpg)](https://blog.thermwood.com/en-us/en-us/en-us/lsam-has-been-the-market-and-technology-leader-in-lfam-since-2016) We will next be printing with material from a variety of suppliers on an LSAM AP 510 LIVE at JEC World 2025 in Paris, France (Hall 6 - Live Demo Area) on March 4th-6th.  Visit our booth to learn more about LSAM, and you can always contact us directly to arrange a personal demonstration at our corporate headquarters.   Don't settle for less when it comes to your production process.
