STILWARE
Intelligent software creates 3D shapes from 2D sheets, folding along curved lines optimized for strength, material use and sustainability.

01 / THE RIDE
STILRIDE 1 began as an electric vehicle sketched on paper. It became a sculptural, lightweight motorcycle built around curved folds rather than conventional stamped and welded parts.
Its continuous surfaces make the structure visible. The frame is not hidden beneath the design — it is the design.

02 / THE TECHNOLOGY
Greener by every fold
STILFOLD applies curve folding and origami principles to reduce weight and waste. Proprietary software and hardware simplify manufacturing — cutting cost, conserving resources and enabling local production.
Reduction in weight
Fewer components
Lower material costs
Reduced CO₂ emissions
More CO₂ for a conventional chassis on Sweden's fossil-free electricity mix. IVL's screening LCA measured the STILRIDE 1 against a market-leading scooter over 58,000 km — and the cleaner the grid, the wider the gap. Read the LCA case study

Intelligent software creates 3D shapes from 2D sheets, folding along curved lines optimized for strength, material use and sustainability.
Hardware translates design data into instructions for automated folding and forming, enabling rapid prototyping and flexible fabrication.
Modular production cells enable local manufacturing inside existing ecosystems, using mono-materials designed for end-of-life recycling.
03 / ORIGIN
2020

STILFOLD — formerly STILRIDE — was born from a research project backed by the Swedish Innovation Agency and led by founders Tue Beijer and Jonas Nyvang.
Beijer sketched an electric vehicle and, after years of research, arrived at a way to fold it in steel. Nyvang helped make it real. Insights from their first product became STILFOLD: a new process for making things.
“Industrial origami and the power of the curve can reshape the future of mobility.”
To pioneer a greener future through innovative design and manufacturing solutions.
To transform industrial manufacturing with sustainable solutions that reduce impact and improve efficiency.
At the forefront of industry, challenging old structures, methods and inherited assumptions.
04 / INDUSTRIES
The motorcycle is only the beginning. The same system can make lighter, stronger structures across industries.
Lighter, durable vehicle components with less material and greater structural integrity.
High-performance parts where precision, strength, weight and repairability are critical.
Sustainable structures and architecture without compromising strength or efficiency.
High-strength components that reduce material use and production energy.
Collapsible structures that return to flat form, increasing recyclability and reducing waste.
A new language for high-quality objects made with less material and less waste.
