Thermwood to showcase ‘live’ LSAM printing at JEC World

Thermwood will be LIVE printing an autoclave-capable tool for composite layup of an aircraft engine air inlet duct on an LSAM Additive Printer 510 in the LIVE Demo Area located in hall 6 at JEC World 2024, held in Paris on March 5-7. 

The company will print a new tool each day with material from a different material supplier (Sabic LNP THERMOCOMP AM EC004EXAR1, Airtech Dahltram I-350CF, and Techmer PM PESU-1810).

In addition to LIVE printing throughout the day, Thermwood will also present an interactive demonstration once per day that will allow participants to see a real-world application of creating high-temp tooling with an LSAM system. 

Topics covered will be collaborative projects, ongoing research initiatives and illuminating case studies that help accelerate advancements in comprehensive knowledge and future innovation within the field. 

Eduardo Barocio, assistant director of additive manufacturing at Purdue University's Composite Manufacturing & Simulation Centre 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.  

Participants will have the unique opportunity to pose questions to Thermwood’s industry experts and gain valuable insights into how LSAM can elevate and optimise their production process. This live demonstration will help bridge the gap between theory and practical application and help understand the full potential of LSAM and how it can help enhance productivity and innovation. Thermwood will also have its regular booth staffed by our knowledgeable sales team that can help answer any questions you might have (hall 6 P52).

This promises to be an exciting demonstration of the LSAM Additive Printer Large Scale Additive System. The LSAM Additive Printer features a single fixed gantry, 5’x10’ moving table, 4’ maximum print height and a maximum print temperature of 450°.
