TRA­DI­TION FOR IN­NO­VA­TION

FROM A DATA MOD­EL TO A SMALL-SE­RIES PART – ALL FROM A SIN­GLE SOURCE.

MOD­ELL­TECH­NIK start­ed out in 1990 as a pi­o­neer of the rev­o­lu­tion­ary stere­olith­o­g­ra­phy process and es­tab­lished it­self as a re­li­able de­vel­op­ment ser­vice provider for pro­to­types made of re­place­ment and se­ries-pro­duced ma­te­r­i­al. We just as quick­ly recog­nised that our cus­tomers need­ed a wider range of ser­vices and have been con­tin­u­ous­ly ex­pand­ing our com­pa­ny ever since. To­day, our to­tal pro­duc­tion area ex­ceeds 10,000 square me­tres.

Our busi­ness port­fo­lio in­cludes pro­to­typ­ing – with pro­duc­tion of in­di­vid­ual parts and en­tire mod­ules – and mould mak­ing to pro­duce in­no­v­a­tive alu­mini­um or steel in­jec­tion mould­ing tools. We also have gauge and jig con­struc­tion fa­cil­i­ties, as well as an in­jec­tion mould­ing tech­nol­o­gy cen­tre.

This gives us flex­i­bil­i­ty and means that we can take any cus­tomer project from the idea to se­ries pro­duc­tion with a tai­lor-made, pre­cise and ef­fi­cient so­lu­tion.
