Thermwood LSAM Additive Printer 510 LIVE Printing at JEC World 2025
Tags: Thermwood, Announcements, Trade Shows, Purdue, Live Demonstrations, Large Scale, Thermwood LSAM, SABIC, LSAM Additive Printers, Techmer PM, JEC World
Thermwood will demonstrate the capabilities of its LSAM technology by LIVE-printing a double-sided RTM mold for an underwater tidal turbine blade each day of the event. This will all happen in the LIVE Demo Area located in Hall 6 at JEC World 2025 in Paris, France on March 4th-6th. The mold pairs will be printed on the LSAM AP 510 Additive Printer using advanced carbon fiber reinforced materials, with a different material supplier featured each day (Sabic and Techmer PM). Once printed, these mold pairs will be shipped from the event, machined, and subsequently used to produce actual tidal turbine blades.
Daily Interactive Demonstration
In addition to LIVE printing throughout the day, we will also present an interactive demonstration twice per day that will allow participants to see firsthand how LSAM technology prints and finishes large-scale thermoplastic parts with exceptional precision, speed, and efficiency. Additionally, we will highlight the wide range of material options and design flexibility available, as well as some of the patented features that set LSAM systems apart as the top choice in the industry. Topics covered will be the collaborative projects, ongoing research initiatives and illuminating case studies that help accelerate advancements in comprehensive knowledge and future innovation within the field.
We will also have our regular booth staffed by our knowledgeable sales team that can help answer any questions you might have (Hall 6 P52).
LSAM Research Laboratory at Purdue ADDITIVE3D Software on Display
Eduardo Barocio, Director of Composites Additive Manufacturing and Simulation (CAMS) Consortium at Purdue University's Composite Manufacturing & Simulation Center will also be on hand to demonstrate their Additive3D software, a powerful tool that not only simulates workflow, but also predicts the printing and as-manufactured performance of parts produced through extrusion deposition additive manufacturing.
About the LSAM Additive Printer
The LSAM Additive Printer systems are single gantry, moving table configurations and are available in two table sizes, 5’x5’ and 5’x10’. The 5’x10’ table is available in two configurations, 5’ wide with 10’ of front to back motion and 10’ wide with 5’ of front to back motion. Choice of configuration depends on several factors, fitting it existing factory floor space is one factor.
The specially designed, highly rigid tab and slot, structural steel gantry also incorporates a fume extraction system that pulls print fumes through specially designed activated charcoal filters to remove them and “sweeten” the air.
LSAM Additive Printers use the exact same print head mechanism as all the others, including the largest LSAM Systems which means that they produce the same amazing print quality that has made LSAM the leader in large scale additive printing. They also use the same highly advanced Ultra 6 control with all its exclusive, patented print features and capability.
The systems come standard with a single hopper polymer dryer for applications that don’t change print material very often. For installations that print a wider variety of materials, a dual hopper dryer is available as an option.
An enclosure that surrounds the machine is also available. The machine with the full enclosure can also be built to meet European CE standards.

Ever wondered what that optional High Tolerance Tool Length Sensor on a Thermwood CNC router does?
This nifty tool (spotted here on a Cabinetshop 43 512-10), can automatically measure both the length and diameter of your tools, and update the control system with the precise offset numbers.No more fussing over exact placements! It automatically compensates for the new tool length/diameter, eliminating the need to precisely locate the cutter bit. It provides a highly accurate method of adjusting tool length/diameter for pocketing or profile edges.Ask our CNC experts about this option to help improve your production process!
