TWINSHIFT: Digital Twin Redefining Design of Tomorrow’s Mobility

The numbers don’t lie: up to 70% of a product’s total CO₂ emissions are embedded in the materials themselves, long before the first wheel turns or the first component is assembled. This sobering reality has driven California Metals, a pioneer in sustainable metal technologies, and STILFOLD, Sweden’s industrial origami innovators, to forge an alliance that will fundamentally transform manufacturing as we know it. Through the Vinnova-funded Future Mobility program, these two companies are proving that the most profound innovations often come from unexpected collaborations. California Metals brings decades of expertise in sustainable metallurgy, while STILFOLD contributes something entirely unique: the ability to fold industrial-grade materials with the precision and elegance of traditional Japanese paper art.
