Why is fischertechnik Better?

fischertechnik building blockOur basic building block has become legendary:
- 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.
