Northcone AB • First product company based on 3D roll forming (Lighting columns are well suited for 3D roll forming because of their long shape and the possibility to design them with a conical shape) • Located in Stockholm and Borlänge • Development and sales of lighting columns • Planned sales start 2015 5
Roll Forming 6
Global steel production Every year approximately 1,000 million tons of steel is produced The majority of all steel is stamped Approximately 8% of all cold rolled steel is being roll-formed 7
Trends in the steel industry • Escalating raw material prices • An increasing share of the end product cost comes from raw material • Increased environmental focus • Weight savings is a top priority in new cars • OEM’s are paying up to € 10 per saved kilo 8
3D Roll Forming 9
3D Roll Forming Year 2001 • BEMO sold a roof that could not be produced • Required roll-forming with a variable cross section • Turned to ORTIC 10
Budapest Arena • 4,700 unique panels • 1 machine • Container portable 11
Subsequent Constructions Olympic Games – Athens 2004 12
Extensive IPR portfolio • More than 10 patent families • Global reach • Method as well as product protection • Automotive • Construction • Lighting columns 13
Stamping vs conventional roll forming (2D) The design limitation has isolated roll-forming from the major market Roll Forming • Low capital cost • High capacity • Easier with high strength steel • Minimal material waste Stamping • Complex structures • Industry standard 14
Stamping vs 3D roll forming Without the design limitations the competitive edge is obvious 3D Roll Forming Stamping • • Low capital cost Industry standard • High capacity • Easier with high strength steel • Minimal material waste 15
Applications Current applications • Roofing Potential new applications • Lighting columns • Automotive • Boats • Furniture • Etc … 16
Automotive One of the main potential application areas for 3D roll forming is the Automotive industry as a lot of improvements can be made compared to stamping: • Minimal material waste • Easy to form with high strength steel • High capacity • Lower investment costs • Less tooling costs 17
