A novel process named ‘individual layer fabrication (ILF)’ is presented, in which objects are built up by laminating individually contoured wood-based panels. However, contrary to the well-known process of ‘laminated object manufacturing (LOM)’, in ILF, the individual panels are not shaped by a subtractive process but additively by selective binding of wooden particles. The particles are spread as a thin layer onto a built platform. A liquid adhesive is then applied only to those areas where the contoured panel is to be generated. As each layer is fabricated individually, the ILF process allows the application of mechanical pressure. Thereby, compared to other additive manufacturing techniques, the necessary amount of binder can be significantly reduced and mechanical properties comparable to particle boards can be achieved.

提出了一种称为“独立层制造（ILF）”的新颖工艺，其中通过层压单独轮廓化的人造木板来构建物体。但是，与众所周知的“层压制品制造（LOM）”工艺相反，在ILF中，单个面板不是通过减法成型的，而是通过选择性粘合木颗粒而形成的。粒子以薄层的形式散布到已构建的平台上。然后，仅将液体粘合剂施加到要生成轮廓板的那些区域。由于每个层都是单独制造的，因此ILF工艺允许施加机械压力。因此，与其他增材制造技术相比，可以大大减少所需的粘合剂量，并且可以获得与刨花板相当的机械性能。
