NEXLAYR:
Rethinking How Complex Parts Get Made
As advanced manufacturing technologies continue to evolve, especially in large-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 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.
It’s about unlocking capability without the capital expense.
It’s about testing, proving, and producing as you need it.

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:
- A low-friction way to validate large-format additive applications
- A bridge to production while internal resources or capital projects ramp up
- A de-risked entry point into hybrid manufacturing workflows
- A 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
Concept in Practice
We imagine this as a collaboration, not a transactional relationship.
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 your team 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.
What Powers It: LSAM + CutLAYER
Our manufacturing platform is built on two technologies:
- LSAM (Large Scale Additive Manufacturing) – high-speed thermoplastic deposition for strong, composite builds for either high temp or low temp specs.
- 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.
Exploring This Together
We’re inviting a conversation.
If this concept aligns with future programs or near-term challenges, we’d love to walk through the process. That might mean reviewing a part, building a quick-turn prototype, or even identifying one component that could be a candidate for this approach.
The potential is real. Let’s explore if it fits you.
