SQL Pivot data into one row per item

Question

I have a table like this, with product name specified multiple times for each LAY it has:

  NAME   |  LAYER  |  TYPE  |  DEPTH
-------------------------------------
32_42_1  | LAY_1   |   A    |  99.4
32_42_1  | LAY_2   |   D    |  427.2
32_42_1  | LAY_3   |   X    |  120.4
32_42_1  | LAY_4   |   B    |  27
32_42_2  | LAY_1   |   A    |  150.4
32_42_2  | LAY_2   |   D    |  427.2
32_42_2  | LAY_3   |   X    |  121.4
32_42_2  | LAY_4   |   C    |  40
32_42_3  | LAY_1   |   F    |  80.97
32_42_3  | LAY_2   |   Y    |  300.2
32_42_3  | LAY_3   |   C    |  123.4
32_42_3  | LAY_4   |   C    |  120

I need each NAME to only have one row and so it needs to be rotated like this:

 NAME  | LAY_1_TYPE | LAY_1_DEPTH | LAY_2_TYPE | LAY_2_DEPTH | LAY_3...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
32_42_1|    A       |    99.4     |      D     |   427.2     | ...
32_42_2|    A       |    150.4    |      D     |   427.2     | ...
32_42_3|    F       |    80.7     |      Y     |   300.2     | ...

I have found many similar solutions, and while some of them get close, I haven't been able to change the code to suit my needs.

This is what I have so far:

PIVOT
(
    MAX(TYPE) For LAYER In (LAY_1,LAY_2,LAY_3,LAY_4,LAY_5)
) piv

But this only pivots one column, and doesn't condense the data into one row per "Name"

Any help would be appreciated!

Pivot with more than one column is better done with conditional aggregation:

DECLARE @tbl TABLE (NAME VARCHAR(100),LAYER VARCHAR(100),TYPE VARCHAR(100),DEPTH DECIMAL(10,4));
INSERT INTO @tbl VALUES
 ('32_42_1','LAY_1','A','99.4')
,('32_42_1','LAY_2','D','427.2')
,('32_42_1','LAY_3','X','120.4')
,('32_42_1','LAY_4','B','27')
,('32_42_2','LAY_1','A','150.4')
,('32_42_2','LAY_2','D','427.2')
,('32_42_2','LAY_3','X','121.4')
,('32_42_2','LAY_4','C','40')
,('32_42_3','LAY_1','F','80.97')
,('32_42_3','LAY_2','Y','300.2')
,('32_42_3','LAY_3','C','123.4')
,('32_42_3','LAY_4','C','120');

SELECT t.NAME
      ,MAX(CASE WHEN t.LAYER='LAY_1' THEN t.TYPE END) AS Type1
      ,MAX(CASE WHEN t.LAYER='LAY_1' THEN t.DEPTH END) AS Depth1
      ,MAX(CASE WHEN t.LAYER='LAY_2' THEN t.TYPE END) AS Type2
      ,MAX(CASE WHEN t.LAYER='LAY_2' THEN t.DEPTH END) AS Depth2
      ,MAX(CASE WHEN t.LAYER='LAY_3' THEN t.TYPE END) AS Type3
      ,MAX(CASE WHEN t.LAYER='LAY_3' THEN t.DEPTH END) AS Depth3
      ,MAX(CASE WHEN t.LAYER='LAY_4' THEN t.TYPE END) AS Type4
      ,MAX(CASE WHEN t.LAYER='LAY_4' THEN t.DEPTH END) AS Depth4
FROM @tbl AS t
GROUP BY t.NAME;

The result

+---------+-------+----------+-------+----------+-------+----------+-------+----------+
| NAME    | Type1 | Depth1   | Type2 | Depth2   | Type3 | Depth3   | Type4 | Depth4   |
+---------+-------+----------+-------+----------+-------+----------+-------+----------+
| 32_42_1 | A     | 99.4000  | D     | 427.2000 | X     | 120.4000 | B     | 27.0000  |
+---------+-------+----------+-------+----------+-------+----------+-------+----------+
| 32_42_2 | A     | 150.4000 | D     | 427.2000 | X     | 121.4000 | C     | 40.0000  |
+---------+-------+----------+-------+----------+-------+----------+-------+----------+
| 32_42_3 | F     | 80.9700  | Y     | 300.2000 | C     | 123.4000 | C     | 120.0000 |
