South-west of Detmold in the Teutoburg Forest lies one of the most popular excursion destinations in Germany and Europe. This model of the Hermann is characterised by its simplicity, in keeping with the motto "less is more" (low-poly). In our training workshop and with the help of our trainees, this extraordinary 300-piece puzzle was created from sheet metal cuttings. The subsequent assembly into a Hermann was carried out in painstaking and sometimes very delicate detail work. With the sword, our Hermann reaches a total height of 310 cm and weighs 170 kg.
mav competition
The model was specially designed for a mav competition The model was built for the AMB trade fair in Stuttgart - in keeping with the theme "Landmark of the industry". Visitors to the AMB trade fair will have the opportunity to see the impressive Hermannsdenkmal model live on site in the Atrium at the east entrance.
We would like to achieve 1st place with the model and ask for your support.

Development of the model
In order to be able to create a larger model at all, a true-to-scale miniature statue of Hermann was first purchased and then scanned using a 3D scanner. The virtual model of Hermann was used as a template and covered with a new shell consisting of just a few polygons. The polygons created in this way were then transferred to sheet metal, which could be manufactured very precisely using a TRUMPF laser cutting system. In addition to the outer shell, a support structure was also built, which made it much easier to assemble the model and also ensured a high degree of stability. The parts were gradually welded together and finally the entire model was coated with clear varnish.
