STILFOLD secures U . S . patent protection
STILFOLD , an innovator in sustainable design and manufacturing technology , has announced that its foundational patent family has been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office ( USPTO ).
“ This milestone represents a significant advance for our origami-inspired manufacturing method , which radically improves material efficiency and reduces the environmental impact of industrial production ,” it said .
“ The newly granted U . S . patent , covering our proprietary curve folding technology , enables the creation of complex geometrical structures from flat sheet metal with unprecedented precision and strength . This method minimises material usage by parts integration and , as a result , decreases production costs and significantly lowers the carbon footprint of manufacturing processes . This makes it a game-changer for industries ranging from automotive and aerospace to renewable energy , construction and consumer products ,” continued the company .
“ We are thrilled to receive this patent recognition in the U . S .,” outlined Jonas Nyvang , CEO and Co-Founder of STILFOLD . “ Our technology is not just about creating stronger and lighter products ; it ’ s about redefining how we approach manufacturing in a way that benefits both businesses and the planet . This patent will protect our innovative process as we continue to expand our presence in the U . S . market and collaborate with industry leaders Jonas Nyvang . to create more sustainable solutions .”
With the U . S . patent secured , STILFOLD is positioned to accelerate its strategic initiatives , including partnerships with key players in the automotive , manufacturing and aerospace sectors . The company ’ s approach offers an alternative to traditional manufacturing methods , reducing the need for expensive tooling and enabling more flexible , efficient production systems . n
