Once, we had to buy some small plastic cones with threads, 15 of them, and they were about $100 apiece. Especially in the laboratory business, if you have to order some specialty parts they cost an arm and leg. “We’re located in the northern part of Norway, so we’re far away from everything.
Røssvoll often requires custom or replacement parts. To maintain different instruments and measurement devices and adapt them to the requirements of specific projects, Mr. Røssvoll created some truly impressive appliances and complex custom assemblies that solve everyday challenges across the laboratories. Since then, he has expanded his fleet with a new Form 3 as well and has produced 328 print jobs with more than 2600 parts on the two printers. However, in 2016, he learned CAD design and convinced the company to buy a Form 2 stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer to speed up the work. These diverse projects require many custom parts, which he previously used lathes and molds to create. Røssvoll is known for inventing new tools and appliances to make work operations quicker and easier. His work involves doing examinations in scanning electron microscopes (SEM), keeping the IT-systems and various instruments, such as X-ray machines and SEMs up and running. Jørn Røssvoll has worked at the headquarters in Mo I Rana, a small town just below the Arctic Circle, for a little over 20 years. The company has been in business since 1955 and currently employs a staff of 110 working in 13 laboratories across the country. One of Norway’s largest chain of laboratories, Nemko Norlab specializes in environmental measurements, drinking water, microbiological, and chemical analysis as well as material testing.
