How much does the Thermwood LSAM Print Only cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a metal additive manufacturing in this class — not a quote from Thermwood. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Thermwood LSAM Print Only is listed as a large-scale additive machine that prints with a screw-driven pellet extruder on a 3-axis gantry (X/Y/Z), with a print volume of up to 10,000 × 3,000 × 1,500 mm (configurable). Thermwood's current pages do not carry a model by this name, so it is flagged as a possible older model, and the listed figures have not been confirmed.
Scale is what the numbers describe. Deposition is given as up to 100+ kg/hr, and layer height as 3–10 mm, described as bead scale. Layers that thick build volume quickly and leave a stepped surface, so a part printed this way comes off near net shape and needs machining to reach final dimensions. As the name says, this configuration prints only. The table has no trimming spindle row, so that machining has to happen on another machine.
Materials are listed as CF-ABS, CF-PESU, CF-PEI (Ultem), PPS and PEEK blends. Platen heating is included for thermal management and warp control, which matters on long parts where the first layers cool before the last ones are laid.
Control is listed as Thermwood Q-Core in an additive configuration, with Ethernet connectivity and remote monitoring capability. The footprint is custom to the print volume and typically 8–25 m in length, so the building tends to set the size ordered. No extruder power, electrical supply or machine weight is listed.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Print volume up to 10,000 × 3,000 × 1,500 mm, configurable
- Deposition rate listed at up to 100+ kg/hr from a screw-driven pellet extruder
- Heated platen for thermal management and warp control
- Material list covers CF-ABS, CF-PESU, CF-PEI (Ultem), PPS and PEEK blends
- Ethernet connectivity with remote monitoring capability
Limitations
- Print only: no trimming spindle is listed, so finishing needs a separate machine
- Layer height of 3–10 mm leaves a coarse bead surface that must be machined
- Footprint is typically 8–25 m in length and custom to the print volume
- No power, electrical supply or weight data is given, and the table is unconfirmed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed print volume is up to 10,000 × 3,000 × 1,500 mm and is described as configurable, so an individual machine may be smaller. The footprint is custom to the print volume, typically 8–25 m in length.
02
The listed materials are CF-ABS, CF-PESU, CF-PEI (Ultem), PPS and PEEK blends, fed as pellets to a screw-driven extruder. Platen heating is listed for thermal management and warp control. No extruder or melt temperature figure is given.
03
Not on the listed figures. The name and the table describe a print-only configuration on a 3-axis gantry (X/Y/Z) with no spindle row. At layer heights of 3–10 mm the printed surface is a series of beads, so plan for trimming on a separate machine.
04
Deposition rate is listed as up to 100+ kg/hr, at layer heights of 3–10 mm. Those are upper figures. The rate reached on a real part depends on the material and on how long each layer needs to cool before the next is laid, which the table does not cover.
