The models to be tested in the hydrodynamic laboratories at MARINTEK are manufactured in the engineering workshop. In production of both hull- and propeller models, high accuracy and use of skilled experienced people are of the utmost importance.
To improve accuracy together with reduction in production time, MARINTEK installed in 2002 a new large 5-axis milling machine. Due to the dimensions and the capacity of this machine, MARINTEK can also offer milling of plugs and moulds for the manufacturers of small crafts and other industries.
The propeller models together with models of different propulsion units (azimuth thrusters, water jets etc.) are mainly manufactured in the 5 – axis Matec HV-30  milling machine installed in 2008 or in the smaller Bridgeport 3 - axis milling machine installed in 1995. In addition, an Objet Eden 500 3D-printer was installed in 2010 where appendices and detailed model equipment are produced.
