Customer Spotlight: C P & W, Benton, Arkansas

In 1999, Curtis Lowry bought his first CNC router from Thermwood Authorized Representative Bob Varwig. It was a Thermwood Model 40, and C P & W was a two-man shop. Darrel Jones joined the company as co-owner around the time that Model 40 arrived.

Twenty-seven years later, Bob was back in Benton for another delivery, this time alongside his son Kevin Varwig, who now leads the account as C P & W’s Thermwood Authorized Representative. This new Model 43 Workcell is the shop’s fifth Thermwood. Over the years they’ve run a Model 40, two Model 45s and two Model 43 Workcells. With this delivery, they now have a Model 45 and two Model 43 Workcells running side by side.

The team has grown too, from two people to about 25. C P & W builds frameless cabinets, cabinet doors, moulding and more for customers across the region.

Thank you to Curtis, Darrel and the whole C P & W crew for your loyalty since 1999. We’re proud to be part of your story!

What happens between layers matters more than most people think.

On a large-format 3D print, a layer that goes down too fast or too slow won't bond the way it should. Thermwood LSAM takes care of that two ways. Layer Time Control keeps every layer at the right temperature, and our patented compression wheel presses each bead firmly into the layer below.

The result is tight, consistent layers from bottom to top.

Can you 3D print a desk that doubles as a work of art? You Betcha!

Episode 2 is live! Drew Keller of Formline Studio sent in the question, and we answered it with the Thermwood Welcome Desk.

Printed on our LSAM 1020, a machined cedar top, a deep ecoPoxy pour, and a whole lot of teamwork (you'll see what we mean when we flip that countertop).

Happy ! Thermwood has been building machines in Dale, Indiana, since 1969. Over more than five decades, our people have never stopped pushing into new technology, and today shops around the world trust us for our advanced CNC systems and large-scale additive manufacturing with LSAM, which we've been advancing over the last decade.

Different eras, different machines, same commitment: engineered, built, and supported right here at home by the people in these photos. Today we're celebrating them.

Day 5 of IMTS 2026 is in the books!

The LSAM AP 510 printed our S-shaped end tables again today in Booth #338350, four at a time in Airtech DAHLTRAM® T-100GF. 45 lb each, 3 hours 48 minutes per run. Booth
#338387 had the large CutLayer tools on display all day.

Tomorrow is your last chance to see us at IMTS. Come get a look at the machine, sit in a printed chair, and talk to our team about what large scale additive could do for your shop.

McCormick Place, Chicago. Booths #338350 and #338387.

Day 4 of IMTS 2026 is in the books, and it was another busy one!

The LSAM AP 510 printed our S-shaped end tables all day in Booth
#338350, four at a time and eight total, in Airtech DAHLTRAM® T-100GF. Each one is 45 lb and takes 3 hours 48 minutes, so people who came by in the morning could return after lunch to finished parts sitting where they had watched the first layers go down.

Booth #338387 had a steady crowd around the large CutLayer tools on display.

We are printing the tables again tomorrow in #338350, with the CutLayer tools on display in #338387. Stop back in either booth. McCormick Place, Chicago.

LSAM and CutLayer both address large-scale manufacturing, but they get there in very different ways.

In this video, I break down the process behind each system, the differences in how the parts are produced, and where each technology fits best.

LSAM uses large-scale additive manufacturing to deposit thermoplastic composite material layer by layer, building near-net-shape structures that can then be machined to final geometry. It’s a powerful option for large tooling, molds, patterns, fixtures, and other applications where size, deposition rate, material performance, and reduced material waste matter.

CutLayer takes a different approach. Instead of printing a large monolithic structure, the system creates a finished component from individually machined layers that are assembled into the final geometry. That opens up another path for producing large, complex tooling and structures while taking advantage of established sheet materials and CNC machining.

Different processes. Different material strategies. Different advantages depending on the application.

If you’re at IMTS, come talk directly with our LSAM and CutLayer product managers. They can get into the details on materials, machine architecture, software, process strategy, tolerances, applications, and what makes the most sense for your specific part or tooling requirement.

If you work in aerospace, defense, foundry, composites, marine, automotive, tooling, or advanced manufacturing, this is worth a look.
