Folding a Greener Future
Our STILFOLD technology can be used to create sustainable and eco-friendly designs that contribute to a greener future. By adopting these principles and techniques, we reduce waste, conserve resources, and create products and designs that are both functional and beautiful.
STILFOLD is a innovative technology owned and developed by the Swedish design and technology firm, STILRIDE AB. STILFOLD acts as a B2B division with primary focus in commercializing the technology through service offerings, licensing and as a solution provider.
STILRIDE was founded in 2020 from the foundation of a research project funded by the Swedish Innovation agency. The founders Tue Beijer and Jonas Nyvang are the majority shareholders.

Industrial Origami
The idea behind STILFOLD is to design and manufacture products that combine functionality, durability and sustainability, enabling designers, engineers and OEMs to use fewer raw materials and components without sacrificing design complexity.
The ambition is to make the technology available to designers, architects, manufacturers and engineers who want to licence it to build their own products whilst minimising their environmental impact. STILFOLD realises the full potential of flat sheet metal by simplifying shapes, eliminating welds and optimizing construction. STILFOLD’s fabrication method will minimize resource consumption and waste. Ultimately reducing environmental impact of production.
Our Sustainable Technology solutions offer unlimited benefits for People and Planet.

The Innovation: Metal Folding Technique
01
Intelligent Software
STILWARE: Our software designs and allows the creation of 3D shapes from 2D sheets by folding them along curved lines optimized for
strength, material use and sustainability.
02
Automated Folding & Forming
STILTOOL: Our tool transforms STILWARE data into CAM instructions for automated folding and forming out of the of the optimal sheet metal parts.
03
Flexible Manufacturing
STILWORKS: Our production cell allows any fully equipped metal workshop to manufacture complex high-spec products.
