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.

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.
