Model and mold making
Epoxy models are characterized by good material properties and resistance to temperature and pressure. They are ideal for demanding sectors such as the automotive, aerospace and medical technology industries. With our CNC machines, we can precisely implement complex shapes and structures to provide you with models that meet the highest quality standards. Models made of epoxy resin-reinforced plastic are ideal for laminating CFRP or GFRP molds.
We also offer low-density PU models and tools for e.g. infusion laminating tools, which impress with their flexibility and lightness. These models are also well suited for applications in architecture, product design and many other industries. Our design engineers work closely with you to develop customized solutions that meet your specific requirements.
Furthermore, higher densities are suitable for small series molds for the production of RIM foamed components and offer savings in both weight and production time compared to aluminum molds in this area, which has a positive effect on the investment.
Aluminum is used for larger quantities, smaller tools or for certain surface requirements. The material’s high strength makes it ideal for mold making in the composite sector. Although aluminum is light, it still offers high strength. This property makes it ideal for mold making, as it ensures good stability and durability. Aluminum moulds are resistant to mechanical stress and can therefore have a longer service life.
The high strength of aluminum also enables the production of complex and precise shapes that meet the requirements of various industries. Aluminum is an environmentally friendly material as it is 100% recyclable. The use of recycled aluminum in mold making reduces the need for primary aluminum and helps to conserve natural resources.

Testing, measuring and bonding gauges
Gage construction plays a decisive role in industrial production, particularly in the area of bonding, measuring and testing components. Gauges are used to ensure the accuracy and quality of manufactured parts and thus guarantee a smooth production process. In this article, we will take a closer look at gauge construction in the area of bonding, measuring and testing gauges.
Bonding is a widely used method for assembling components, particularly in the automotive and aerospace industries. Bonding gauges are used to ensure that the parts to be bonded are positioned correctly and that the adhesive is applied evenly. These gauges are custom-made fixtures that are specifically designed for each individual component to ensure precise alignment. Gauge construction enables efficient and precise bonding, which leads to increased product quality and a reduction in rejects.
Measuring gauges are indispensable tools for quality control in production. They are used to check the dimensions and tolerances of components and ensure that they comply with the given specifications. Measuring gauges are often used in areas such as mechanical engineering, electronics and medical technology. Gauge construction in the field of measuring gauges enables precise and repeatable measurement, resulting in high accuracy and consistency. This allows errors to be detected and corrected at an early stage to ensure high product quality.
Test gauges are used to check the functionality and quality of components. They serve to ensure that the components meet the specified requirements and function correctly. Test gauges can be used, for example, to check the accuracy of fit of components, to test electrical connections or to check the tightness of components. Gauge construction in the field of test gauges enables efficient and reliable testing, which leads to improved product quality and a reduction in defective components.

Scanning / reverse engineering / measurement reports
3D scanning for quality control:
3D scanning offers a powerful method for quality control of components and products. By using state-of-the-art 3D scanners, objects can be captured quickly and precisely. The scanner generates a detailed digital model of the scanned object, which serves as a reference for the quality check. By comparing the scanned model with the target values, deviations can be detected and analyzed in order to identify possible errors or defects at an early stage. 3D scanning enables fast, non-contact and highly accurate inspection of components, resulting in improved quality control and a reduction in rejects.
The captured 3D scan data can be processed in detailed measurement reports to ensure precise documentation of quality control. These reports contain important information on dimensional deviations, surface quality and other relevant measurement data. The reports can be output in various formats and serve as a basis for further analyses, inspections and also as proof of compliance with quality standards. The measurement reports provide transparent and reliable documentation of quality control, which can be used for internal purposes or for communication with customers and partners.
Reverse engineering:
3D scanning also plays an important role in the reverse engineering process, particularly in reverse engineering. In reverse engineering, a physical component is scanned and converted into a digital model. This digital model can then serve as a starting point for the redesign, repair or further development of the component. 3D scanning enables the geometric shapes and surface structures of the component to be captured quickly and precisely. The captured 3D data is imported into CAD software.
