NexLayer: Rethinking How Complex Parts Get Made

As advanced manufacturing technologies continue to evolve, especially inlarge-scale additive and hybrid fabrication, many engineering and production teams are beginning to ask a new kind of question:

“What if we didn’t have to bring it all in-house at once to move forward?”

This shift is happening in real time. With high-performance additive systems like LSAM and CutLAYER, we have launched NEXLAYR, a contract manufacturing model that offers something different. Something strategic, scalable, and surprisingly practical.

lt's about testing, proving and producing as you need it.

NexLayr: It's about unlocking capability without the capital expense.

The Opportunity

Whether you’re building a one-off prototype, a low-volume production run, or simply facing internal bottlenecks, contract manufacturing with NexLayr could offer:

low-friction way to validate large-format additive applications
bridge to production while internal resources or capital projects ramp up
de-risked entry point into hybrid manufacturing workflows
method to offload non-core or non-recurring tooling that still requires precision

This will work particularly well for teams that:

Need to move fast but aren’t ready to invest in LSAM-scale equipment
Are building tooling, fixtures, or test articles for larger composite assemblies
Want to test geometry, performance, or thermal stability before committing to full integration
Need a partner to step in when floor space, staff, or time are at a premium

NexLayer: Concept in Practice

Imagine this as a collaboration.

You might send us a CAD file for a trim fixture or mold and we'd handle the additive build, precision machining, QA and delivery. Or maybe we develop a recurring build strategy together: a handful of large, complex components built quarterly, without needing to maintain or staff new equipment.

This model works alongside your internal capabilities, not in place of them. It gives you access to industrial-grade additive and hybrid capacity, backed by those that made it with no long-term commitment or infrastructure lift.

CutLAYER - an alternative approach to large-format additive manufacturing. One that doesn't rely on 3D printing at all. Instead of extruding melted material, CutLAYER builds parts by cutting sheets into layers and assembling those layers with precision alignment. The result is a highly scalable, material-flexible (composites, aluminum, wood and more) process for producing parts often faster, stronger and more cost-effective than traditional methods or printing.
