THE MODELING OF A PROTO-
TYPE IS THE VERY BASIS FOR A
SUCCESSFUL RESULT
Continuous development and perfection
of the moulding process, from model and
prototype to the finished product. This
creates a continuous expansion of the
options in design and technique,
providing the customer with a guarantee
of first class expertise in every part of the
process. Through long-term and
continuous cooperation with the entire
process chain, from component level to
the finished product, we are able to
provide good advice on how to
optimise models for efficient
production processes.
Possibilities
FROM MODELLING TO 3D-
CUTTING OF MOULDS
–WE KNOW HOW
Our sophisticated design and develop-
ment centre is located at our main fac-
tory in Sykkylven, where both our techni-
cal and marketing expertise is based.
With accurate moulds and production
processes, we are able to meet our
customers’ demands for comfort, stability
and elasticity. Sandella has so much
experience in the production of compo-
nents with integrated load-bearing inserts
of all shapes and sizes. These can be
made from wood, steel, or aluminium
frames, as well as plastic and other
inserts. In total, these kind of products
make up 70% of our present production.
With our three production facilities,
Sandella can offer a wide range
of products, from small 40 gram neck
support cushions, to large 7-8 kilogram
back rests. Furthermore, we can combine
different degrees of hardness in the same
mould, so-called Dual Hardness. An
example of this is a cushion with a soft
midsection and firmer edges.
The majority of the moulds are made by Sandella
in house, having much technical expertise in the
manual building of moulds, from modeling to
the finished mould. More and more customers
also choose moulds CNC-milled directly from 3D
drawings. As part of our network we offer this
service through experienced external suppliers.
