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.

The advantages
A clear structure and truly realistic results
Fast, safe assembly; no other tools needed
First-class materials guarantee safe play, maximum stability and longevity -- fischertechnik is built to last!
Completely compatible with all parts back to 1965
New kits exponentially expand the possible ways of developing models

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.

The age groups

	Junior - 5 years upwards The Junior kits ensure success quickly and easily.
	“Universal” - 7 years upwards Many ways to gain an understanding of everyday technology.
	Profi - 9 years upwards Sensors, Solar, Pneumatics ...For adult and young engineers. More people than ever can now build a robot with these Profi robot kits!
	Computing - 12 years upwards Computer Control Kits - to teach tomorrow‘s technology today. You can build a robot kit and program it with your computer.
	Industrial/ Training - Adult professionals Computer and PLC controlled models for industry and education. Affordably simulate industrial robots.

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.
