inactio machine models
Large machines.In miniature.
We manufacture your product as a true-to-scale die-cast model, the perfect promotional gift for your customers. From design to finished model: everything from a single source, delivered worldwide.
Why models
Why is a die-cast model the best giveaway you can hand a customer?
Marketing today is almost entirely digital and forgotten within seconds: the newsletter is deleted, the banner clicked away, the post scrolled past. Which is exactly why the opposite works so well: a high-quality, true-to-scale model of your machine that your customer can actually hold.
It doesn’t disappear into a drawer like the hundredth branded pen. Instead it sits on the desk or in the display case, reminding your customer of your brand for years, every single day.
Lasting brand recall
Every time your customers look at the die-cast model, they are reminded of your brand and your product.
Compact & easy to ship
The models are small and lightweight, ideal for shipping, even in large quantities.
A premium collector’s piece
Perfect as a gift: it looks great on any desk or bookshelf, as a premium collector’s piece just as much as an executive gift.

The project briefing
Together, we discuss the details of your project:
- Model name and model scale
- Materials and quality level
- Functions and special features
- Quantity and packaging details
Product drawings or photos
You provide us with detailed drawings or photos, dimensions and specification data for your product: the foundation for a high-quality die-cast model. On this basis we prepare a detailed quotation covering, for example, tooling scope, 3D design costs, tooling costs and unit costs. Information that is as complete as possible is an important first step towards a high-quality model.
The 3D design
Based on the photos, simplified 3D drawings and descriptions you provide, the model is created as a 3D construction that presents all product details and functions. You then receive the 3D drawing for adjustments and approval. An important second step towards the high quality of the final model.
Building the prototype
Based on the 3D drawing you have approved, the first prototype of the model is handcrafted from plastic.
Mold design, tooling & mold making
Once the 3D drawing and the prototype have been confirmed, we move on to mold design, tooling and mold making, depending on the desired level of detail and quality of the model.
First sample model & adjustments
Once the casting molds have been produced, the first sample model is manufactured within a few days. Our engineering team checks that all requested details are reproduced and that every component meets our design and production standards. After internal approval, the sample is presented to you for sign-off. Based on your feedback, the refined second sample is then produced.
Second sample model & packaging
We then produce the second sample model with complete paintwork and packaging. As soon as everything meets your expectations, a final pre-production sample is manufactured after your approval.
Mass production
Once you have confirmed the pre-production sample and the packaging, mass production begins. It comprises the following stages:
- Die casting & injection molding
- Surface finishing and painting
- Pad printing and final assembly
- Quality control and packaging
Final inspection & shipping
After mass production, the models go through final inspection and are shipped worldwide to your chosen destination.
Getting started
You provide drawings and photos. We take care of the rest.
We guide you through the entire process: from the first drawing to delivery, whether that’s Moers or Melbourne.

Our goal is always a true-to-scale model of the highest quality, with realistic, precisely reproduced features and details: a collector’s piece, an executive gift, a product in its own right. A gift you will hand over with pride, and one that holds real value for its recipient.
A scale model has the greatest impact when you have it produced in parallel with the launch of the real product.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers
How long does it take to get the finished model?
From agreement to the finished, ready-to-ship model takes around 12 months. That includes 3D design, mold making, samples and mass production.
When will I see a first draft?
The 3D construction of your model is created in around 25–30 days. You then receive the 3D drawing for adjustments and approval. The subsequent mold making takes around 45 days.
Will I see the model before production starts?
Yes, several times: one after the other, you approve the 3D drawing, the handcrafted prototype, the first and second sample models, and a final pre-production sample. Mass production only begins after your confirmation.
How confidential is my product data?
All customer and product information is treated as strictly confidential at all times. That applies even if you have the model produced in parallel with the launch of the real product.
Where do you deliver the finished models?
We deliver worldwide. On request, we also support you with warehousing, distribution and logistics.
