The rise of METOMICS
Over a decade ago a new sheet metal technology emerged; allowing intricate models to be created and built.Β Wist Plastic & Metal TechnologyΒ (nowΒ WiST Group), a specialist sheet metal manufacturer, launched the worldβs first βmetal-etchedβ toy. With easy to follow instructions and simple, snap-together assembly, incredibly detailed models could be constructed in minutes.
WiSTβsΒ continued investment in the technology cemented its popularity and in 2016, now rebranded Piececool, innovated a Multi-Colour Electroplating process to ensure that to this day, Piececool continues to be a market leader and grow the brand on the global stage.
At about the same time, a vision to create a high quality, configurable construction block was being realised.
Concept
The concept; to devise a simple means of creating any 3-Dimensional form, providing designers, modelmakers, artists, sculptors, engineers and creatives of all ages, a modular unit by which βanythingβ could be constructed. As an innovator and manufacturer of metal products,Β WiSTΒ would spend 3 years developing the technology to produce the precision engineered βmodular unitsβ.
WiSTΒ is proud to presentΒ METOMICS, the worldβs first metal construction block.
