Our model making services
INNOVATIVE IDEAS, PROFESSIONAL EXECUTION.
Whether it’s a functional prototype or sample part, we set benchmarks with our modern machinery and varied technologies – always with a focus on speeding up and improving your product development process.
MILLING
Precise and efficient for a wide range of materials.
With the help of state-of-the-art 5-axis milling machines, we can produce free-form shapes up to a length of 5 m with outstanding surface quality and accurate dimensions and geometries. This increases the efficiency of machining and also significantly speeds up subsequent processes. Our Zimmermann FZ 33 is ideal for machining aluminium and composite materials. These varied options mean that the portal milling machine is used for prototyping, design model making and boat building. It is also used for models, cubing, jigs and gauges.

LOW-PRESSURE INJECTION MOULDING (RIM)
For large moulded plastic parts in top quality.
We offer two processes here for producing large-format and complex plastic components in high quantities: the low-pressure RIM process and the high-pressure RIM process. Both enable efficient production of large-format and complex plastic components with a wide range of materials for huge variety of applications.

LAMINATION (CFRP, GF, VACUUM INF.)
Expertise in every layer.
Lamination produces composite materials by impregnating various layers of material with resin. The benefits of lamination lie in the high corrosion resistance, low tool costs and excellent mechanical properties at low weights.

DEEP DRAWING
Unique thermoformed parts – quickly and efficiently.
If you want to produce moulded parts with large dimensions in small to medium quantities, deep drawing is the process you need. The comparatively low tool costs and the short throughput times make this process highly cost-effective. The low weight of the formed parts also has a positive impact on the production time.

MODULE ASSEMBLY
The perfect combination for every product.
In module assembly, all prefabricated individual parts and components are put together to produce the final product. Producing assembly aids and jigs in-house means that we can quickly and efficiently meet even extremely complex requirements.

PLASTIC WELDING
Modern joining processes for plastics.
We offer various welding processes that can be used according to the geometry, material and application area of the product. The portfolio of technologies ranges from ultrasound welding and vibration welding to infrared welding to mirror wel

FOAMING
Light. Strong. Innovative. Plastic foams for every application.
We produce samples and small series with polyurethane foams by hand or with casting machines. Rear foaming enables visual and haptic production of functional prototypes. Our strengths lie in innovative projects with functional integration, such as embedding heating elements.

MODELLTECHNIK IN ACTION
Automotive
A body with class: We produced the master model for the body of the cult Evetta light electric vehicle on a 1:1 scale – with perfect milling and the finest surface finishing. Find out how.
Industry
The socket for the forest: We developed the prototypes for a type of powerbank for Stihl, which was put through its paces by forestry workers. A truly powerful project.
Aerospace
"Jena, we have no problem": Jena-Optronik commissioned MODELLTECHNIK to produce a 1:1 model of the Gateway Docking Port, which is needed for sensor tests in space applications.
Design
Timeless and dignified: Working with Samosa and our expertise in 3D printing, MODELLTECHNIK creates beautiful templates and design samples for individually designed funeral urns.
