fischertechnik
is the flexible construction system for young and older
system designers alike.
Produced in Germany to high standards, fischertechnik has
been innovating and manufacturing the highest quality modeling
systems since 1965. These robot kits allow a multitude of
systems and system models to be created by slotting precision-engineered
parts together.
Why
is fischertechnik
Better?
Our
basic building block has become legendary, and with good
reason:
New
elements can be attached on all six sides of any
block
Each block is made from three
specially selected materials (plastic, nylon & metal),
ensuring maximum stability and flexibility
Allows an endless variety
of possible combinations
Let's
take a closer look below at a fundamental building block
from fischertechnik.
Note how the nylon nib is countersunk into the plastic block.
Since this nib must have high tensile strength, able to
both hold and flex, premium nylon material is used to construct
it. Inside the block, the nylon nib is reinforced with a
metal pin. This may cost more, but it creates superior strength
and flexibility to help make the fischertechnik system the
most capable modeling system in the world.

How
is it that fischertechnik came to make the best construction
system available on the globe? It
starts with fischertechnik's parent company and founder,
Artur Fischer. fischertechnik is a relatively small division
of a firm named Fischerwerke. Fischerwerke is not a toy
company. Fischerwerke's primary business is the manufacturing
of industrial connectors for the construction and automotive
industries. With fischertechnik, Artur Fischer took the
firm's expertise in engineering and materials to construct
a modeling system of superior quality and capability.
Now
with over three decades of experience and development, the
fischertechnik construction kits and robot kits address
a broad range of technology and engineering concepts across
a spectrum of ages from 5 years old to adult professionals.

There
are also kits designed for all kinds of interests
and budgets,
such as the new Mini
Kits budget series. Despite
introducing specialized technologies such as automotive
technology, pneumatics, bionics and computerization, all
of the kits share fundamental interchangeable blocks which
may be combined to expand possibilities.
