Thermwood Corporation, established in Indiana in 1969 and the oldest CNC manufacturing company in business, has just announced that it signed a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the Fleet Readiness Center (FRC) East, and part of the Naval Air Systems Command, to conduct a joint technology development effort, lasting for two years, and focused specifically on Thermwood's developing large scale additive manufacturing (LSAM) technology.
