Toivalan Metalli 3D Print Tube Bending Dies and Welding Fixtures
Toivalan Metalli’s success story:
Toivalan is a well-established Finnish machine shop whose main customers are machine builders, construction shops, and the mining industry. Never opting to rest on their laurels, they’ve continuously developed their operations in recent decades.
A major factor in surviving and thriving in today’s service industry is the ability to stay up to date with production equipment and its development. In recent years, they’ve made major investments in versatile manufacturing technologies, including fibre laser, disk grinding, edge turning machinery, CNC pipe bending machinery, and pipe end forming machinery – taking their business to the next level.
Yet despite their investment in new, cutting-edge machinery, there was still one major issue to address: their ability to take on low-volume, custom projects. With many jobs requiring a different bending tool, the cost of a part could jump to as much as €4,000, due to the need to purchase specific tube bending dies from major suppliers. This was proving not only costly, but most importantly, slowed down projects due to associated dependencies and supply chains.
