JEC COMPOSITES MAGAZINE - Issue #140 - May/June 2021 - 93
With the addition of the LSAM Additive Printers, Th ermwood now off ers the largest selection
of large scale additive manufacturing systems for thermoplastic composite materials in the
industry with models available for just about every application and budget.
New 30mm Print Head
Th e 40-60mm print heads used on our fl agship
machines weigh well over two tons and require a
signifi cant machine structure and powerful servo
drives to achieve optimum performance. To
accommodate the request for a lower cost system,
Th ermwood refi ned and updated a 30mm print
head design, initially developed during their print
technology development.
In order to handle the still signifi cant 30mm Print
Head, the gantry structure of its highly successful
5 axis CNC routers was re-engineered to use the
incredibly strong " slot and tab " structural steel
approach used on fl agship LSAM machines. Th e
same table, base structure and servo drives used
on their fi ve axis CNC routers could be used
pretty much as is. With these changes the " LSAM
Additive Printer " was born.
Available Sizes
Th e new LSAM Additive Printers are all fi xed
gantry, moving table designs with table sizes of
5'x5' and 5'x10' and are capable of printing parts
up to 4' high. Th e 5'x10' machines are available
in two styles, 5' wide with 10' of front to back
motion or 10' wide with 5' of front to back
motion. Maximum table print weight
is 1,000
pounds, however, the 10' wide 5' deep machine
is available with a dual servo drive which doubles
the weight carrying capability.
LSAM 105
Additive Printer
Although smaller than the fl agship systems,
which can print over 500 pounds per hour,
the 30mm print head can still print up to
100 pounds per hour, which is still a higher
maximum output than virtually all other
systems available today.
Same Powerful Features
Th e same powerful, feature rich LSAM control
used on the large fl agship LSAM systems, along
with all its unique patented additive print features
is standard on the new LSAM Additive Printers.
Th is new LSAM Additive Printer is intended to
introduce LSAM additive technology to a whole
new level of application and customer.
