Company Overview

Thermwood Corporation was established in 1969 as a plastic molder of wood grained parts for the furniture industry, hence the name “Thermwood”. From the beginning Thermwood incorporated a high level of technology in its business.

For example, to mold its plastic parts Thermwood developed a unique molding process and much of the plastic molding and trimming machinery Thermwood used was designed and built in-house. In the mid-1970s, it developed the first commercial CNC machine tool control and used it to build machinery to trim its plastic parts. Thermwood began selling this trim equipment for plastics and woodworking applications and the CNC router was born. Thermwood is currently the oldest CNC router company and continues to offer products for the woodworking, plastics and aerospace industries. In addition to numerous applications in the wood, furniture and cabinet industries, Thermwood machines have also been used to process a wide variety of well-known products.

The interiors of most commercial jet airliners are processed on Thermwood machines, as are many helicopter blades, structural parts for military aircraft and tile underlayment for the space shuttle. Thermwood machines produce parts from bowling alleys to bicycle helmets, spas, motorcycle parts to truck bodies. Many of the sets on Broadway were built on Thermwood machines, as were sets for movies such as Batman, Jurassic Park 3 and the latest Star Wars. Thermwood machines helped rebuild both Windsor Castle and the Opera House in London. Even NASA has used Thermwood machines to build the Mars Flyer and Mars Lander.

Thermwood is deeply involved in CNC technology and technology development, incorporating a high level of next generation control technology in its products. It remains the only major CNC router company in the world that designs and builds its own high-end CNC control and has more patents on CNC router technology than all other CNC router manufacturers combined. Thermwood’s control has become a world-wide standard in certain aerospace and defense applications.
