Test and Validation Eqipment
Our contribution to safe and efficient product development
In modern product development, the safeguarding of components and systems is a crucial factor for quality, reliability, and market readiness.
With our test and validation equipment division, we offer tailor-made solutions: We develop, design and manufacture both test bench-specific adaptations, rigs, frames and fixtures as well as prototypes, reference models and test specimens.
These serve for precise integration into test benches and enable realistic tests under defined conditions.
Highly flexible manufacturing from a single source
As an experienced provider in model and mold making, we have been realizing demanding projects and solving complex problems for decades. We manufacture pioneering prototypes, molds, and composite components – and in the field of test and validation equipment, we offer customized solutions for your test setups. Our customers have the highest demands, not only regarding functionality but also material and surface finish.
Our services at a glance:
Design models
Test setups and rigs, e.g. for functional and endurance tests

Ground Test Equipment for Aerospace
We rely on state-of-the-art design methods and manufacturing technologies to ensure the highest precision and repeatability.
Why testing and validation equipment is indispensable:
Safeguarding in product development reduces risks, shortens development times, and lowers costs. By using test bench-specific adaptations and test setups, errors can be detected early and product quality can be sustainably improved. Our solutions are designed to simulate realistic stresses and thus validate the reliability of your products under real-world conditions.
Areas of application:
Our testing and validation solutions are used in:
• Automotive industry
• Aerospace
• Mechanical and plant engineering
• Armaments and defense
• Electrical engineering and mechatronics
• Research and Development
Ground Test Equipment for Aerospace
Especially in the aerospace industry, the highest demands are placed on safety, precision, and verification – and ground test equipment plays a central role here. Schröter Modell- und Formenbau develops and manufactures customized solutions that optimally complement test benches and reliably simulate real-world operating conditions.
Ground Test Equipment includes all devices, adaptations and test fixtures used on ground test stands for the validation, verification and release of aerospace components and systems.
These include, for example, mechanical test fixtures, load introduction elements, adapter structures for engines and components, assembly and disassembly devices, modular racks for environmental simulations (temperature, humidity), vibration and oscillation rigs, and interfaces for measurement and telemetry systems.
With the help of this equipment, it is possible to realistically simulate operating and fault scenarios, accurately transfer loads, reproduce load profiles and seamless measurement data acquisition under defined boundary conditions.
Crucial aspects of this equipment include geometric and tolerance accuracy, material selection (metallic components, composite terminals), fixing and quick-change solutions, as well as the secure integration of sensors, cable management and DAQ systems.
Schröter Modell- und Formenbau delivers ground test equipment as a customized, complete solution – from design and FEM-supported engineering to prototype production and CNC-machined pre-series components. Our experience in aerospace requirements, TISAX-certified data security , and high-end machinery enable us to produce robust, precise, and certifiable test fixtures – even for large-format assemblies and sensitive prototypes.
This results in test setups that shorten test times and deliver valid, traceable test results for approval and release processes.
Why choose Schröter Formenbau for your testing and validation equipment?
Since 1963, Schröter Formenbau has stood for precision, innovation, and the highest level of manufacturing expertise in model and mold making.
