Industrial Prototyping & Small Batch Production

MTC Modellbau® develops and manufactures high-quality industrial prototypes, functional prototypes and small production series for companies in mechanical engineering, automotive, aerospace, energy, manufacturing and other technical industries.

From initial concepts and CAD data to functional prototypes and repeatable series production, we transform technical ideas into precise physical products. Our combination of SLA/DLP 3D printing, CNC machining, laser technology and precision craftsmanship enables us to manufacture both complex individual components and complete prototypes.

Whether you require a visual prototype for a presentation, a functional model for technical evaluation or multiple identical components for a small production series, every project is individually developed according to your requirements.

Prototype Development for Industry

Professional prototype development makes it possible to evaluate products, components and technical concepts before entering full-scale production.

MTC Modellbau® supports industrial companies in transforming digital designs and technical ideas into physical prototypes. Depending on the project, prototypes can be used to evaluate dimensions, proportions, ergonomics, assembly, functionality or visual appearance.

We work with CAD data, STEP files, technical drawings, renderings, photographs and other product documentation provided by the customer.

If required, existing 3D data can be prepared and optimized for production. Missing components can also be reconstructed or developed based on the available technical information.

Functional Prototypes & Technical Models

For applications requiring more than a visual representation, MTC Modellbau® develops functional prototypes and technical models with mechanical and electronic components.

Depending on the project, we can integrate:

• Mechanical movements and functional components
• Motors and servo systems
• LED lighting and lighting sequences
• Sensors and switches
• Buttons and control panels
• Electronic components
• Programmable control systems
• Moving and rotating elements
• Custom mechanical solutions

Functional prototypes can help demonstrate technical principles, evaluate product concepts or present complex functions to customers and decision-makers.

This combination of model making, mechanical engineering and electronics enables us to create prototypes that go beyond conventional static presentation models.

Rapid Prototyping with SLA/DLP 3D Printing

High-resolution SLA and DLP 3D printing allows complex components and detailed geometries to be manufactured quickly and precisely.

These technologies are particularly suitable for prototypes requiring fine details, smooth surfaces and complex shapes that would be difficult to manufacture using conventional methods.

Depending on the application, 3D printing can be used for:

• Detailed prototype components
• Complex geometries
• Design and presentation prototypes
• Functional components
• Housing and enclosure prototypes
• Technical parts
• Small production quantities
• Master models

Digital production also makes it possible to modify components efficiently during the development process. Design changes can be implemented directly in the 3D data and transferred into the next prototype version.

CNC Prototyping & Precision Manufacturing

For components requiring high dimensional accuracy, specific materials or precisely machined surfaces, MTC Modellbau® uses CNC machining and precision manufacturing.

CNC technology can be combined with 3D printing, laser cutting and traditional manufacturing methods depending on the requirements of the project.

This hybrid approach allows us to select the most suitable production technology for each individual component rather than limiting the complete prototype to a single manufacturing process.

The result is a customized manufacturing solution optimized for precision, functionality, appearance and production efficiency.

Custom Materials, Surfaces & Finishes

The material and surface finish of a prototype can be just as important as its geometry.

Depending on the intended application, we work with different plastics, acrylic materials, wood-based materials, metals, resins and composite solutions.

Components can be individually finished and painted according to RAL colors, corporate design specifications or project-specific requirements.

Matte, satin and high-gloss finishes as well as metallic effects, transparent components and individually branded surfaces can be implemented depending on the prototype design.

This allows prototypes to be produced not only for technical evaluation, but also for product presentations, exhibitions, customer meetings and marketing purposes.

Small Batch & Series Production

In addition to individual prototypes, MTC Modellbau® manufactures small batches and series productions for industrial customers.

Once a prototype or component has been finalized, the manufacturing process can be optimized for repeatable production.

Depending on the required quantity and component geometry, we use suitable digital and conventional manufacturing technologies to achieve consistent quality across all units.

Small batch and series production is particularly suitable for:

• Product launches
• International sales teams
• Trade fairs and exhibitions
• Demonstration units
• Presentation models
• Technical components
• Limited editions
• Customer samples

Individual units can also be customized with logos, colors, serial numbers, names or market-specific branding.

Prototypes for Automotive & Vehicle Manufacturing

MTC Modellbau® develops prototypes and technical components for applications in the automotive and vehicle manufacturing sector.

From individual components and housings to technical demonstration models and presentation prototypes, we manufacture customized solutions based on CAD and engineering data.

Depending on the project, functional elements, surface finishes and individual branding can be integrated.

Modern digital manufacturing technologies allow complex vehicle and product components to be reproduced accurately while enabling efficient design modifications during the development process.

Aerospace Prototyping

The aerospace sector requires precise manufacturing and the ability to reproduce complex technical geometries.

MTC Modellbau® manufactures prototypes, technical models and presentation models for aviation and aerospace applications based on customer-provided engineering data.

Components can be produced using high-resolution 3D printing, CNC machining and other precision manufacturing technologies.

Depending on the application, prototypes can be developed for technical presentations, exhibitions, product demonstrations or internal development purposes.

Prototypes for Machinery & Plant Engineering

Mechanical engineering and plant construction are among the core application areas for industrial prototyping.

Machines, components, housings, assemblies and technical systems can be manufactured as prototypes or functional demonstration models.

For complex systems, different manufacturing technologies can be combined to reproduce mechanical structures, technical components and individual functions accurately.

Interactive elements such as motors, movement, LED lighting and electronic controls can also be integrated where required.

This makes physical prototypes particularly effective for customer presentations, development processes, trade fairs and technical demonstrations.

From CAD Data to the Finished Prototype

The development process begins with an analysis of the available project documentation.

Customers can provide CAD files, STEP data, 3D models, technical drawings, photographs, renderings and product specifications.

Based on the project requirements, we determine suitable materials, manufacturing technologies, surface finishes and functional components.

The digital data is then prepared and optimized for production. Individual components are manufactured using the appropriate combination of 3D printing, CNC machining, laser technology and precision craftsmanship.

After manufacturing, components are finished, painted and assembled. Mechanical functions, electronics and lighting systems are integrated where required.

The completed prototype is carefully inspected before delivery to ensure that it meets the agreed design and project specifications.

From Prototype to Series Production

A major advantage of working with MTC Modellbau® is the ability to continue beyond the initial prototype.

Once the design and functionality have been approved, the production process can be adapted for small batch or series manufacturing.

This allows companies to develop the first prototype and subsequent production units with a single manufacturing partner.

Depending on the project, production data, manufacturing processes and assembly procedures can be optimized to ensure consistent quality and efficient reproduction.

From one-off prototypes to small batches and professional series production, we develop the appropriate manufacturing concept for each project.
