Matrix Toolport Case Study

Automated Tool Vending Solutions

Electronic intergration with sheetmetal hardware is often considered seperate expertise from different company’s.  With a broad spectrum of skills on the team, Metalform consider these two parts as one solution right from the outset.

Toolport have partnered with Metalform to develop a world leading solution in managing high-cost assets via computerised vending solution.  Their target industy – tip tools for machine centres.

Tip tools within a warehouse are an expensive consumable.  With a completely automated solution, the design can reduce overheads by adminstering tooling purchases and never running out of stock.  Iscar, the world leader tip tool supplier, recognised this value and have chosen to distribute this product through its worldwide network.

Metalform’s value-add in this project offers end-to-end capability from R&D thru to final assembly.  This includes quick prototyping and then large manufacturing runs.
