The cool tool Education
The company The Cool Tool specializes in machines for technical education, from kindergarten to university level. Since 1982, the company has been developing innovative products to provide learners of all ages with practical and safe access to the world of technology.
With The Cool Tool Education, learners can unleash their full potential and learn through access to high-quality, modular, and safe machines. Technology and material knowledge are taught in a sustainable and active manner, allowing learners to develop a deep understanding of these areas.
The know-how acquired with UNIMAT machines can later be applied in practice with industrial equipment. The machines are specifically designed for students to spark their early interest in STEM subjects.
Mission
With Unimat, technology becomes tangible and easily understood for people of all age groups. The act of creating something oneself serves as a catalyst in the process of turning information into knowledge. Techniques and their effects are taught in a sustainable and engaging manner, ensuring lasting comprehension and active learning.
Educational concept
The cool tool specializes in the development, production, and distribution of innovative machines for model making, design, prototyping, and education.

Advantages of the UNIMAT System in Education
More Machines, Lower Costs
Thanks to its modular design, a single UNIMAT set can be configured into multiple machine types – such as a lathe, jigsaw, and more. This not only saves space but also significantly reduces acquisition costs, as there’s no need for a separate device for each application. Ideal for flexible and budget-conscious technical education.
Versatility and Sustainability – Full Functionality in Minimal Space
UNIMAT delivers the capabilities of large machines in a compact format. The modular system allows for the flexible setup of various fully functional machines. Transport cases and the mobile workshop are specially designed for school use, making storage and transport particularly easy. Perfect for schools with limited space but high expectations.
Quality and Innovation
Since 1982, UNIMAT has been an Austrian quality product known for its outstanding functionality.

Learn more about global educational projects where UNIMAT machines are successfully used in technical training.
Our modular systems are implemented in thousands of schools worldwide – from primary education to vocational training.
The cool tool was also a partner in an ERASMUS+ project, where teachers and students from various EU countries worked together on hands-on technical tasks.
The project is carried out across multiple European partner countries and supports the training of young people as future skilled professionals.
The focus is on STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) – presented in a clear, practical, and engaging way.
Project ideas for school
Woodworking project
An exciting project that teaches woodworking and basic technical understanding is the DIY wooden wind turbine.
The craft kit includes a solar module, and the accompanying plans enable the construction of various models related to solar power, wind turbines, and e-mobility. This combines woodworking with mechanics and electronics.
Propeller Car - Material Kit
– A Creative DIY Engineering Project
The perfect add-on set for exciting technical and crafting activities! This kit allows students to build a fully functional propeller-powered car – ideal for use in schools, technical workshops, or makerspaces.
CNC Education project
Our CNC machines teach the connections between computer-aided design and manufacturing of selected components. Complex 3D models can be manufactured with computer control.
An example using the CNC milling machine is the production of a clamping block. This combines STEM applications such as measurement technology, design, and computer science with actual manufacturing on the CNC machine. The additional rotary table CNC transforms the 3-axis milling machine into a fully functional 4-axis milling machine.
Machines - Made in Austria
Since 1982, we have been manufacturing toys and machines as a family-owned company based in Austria.
Product quality is our top priority.
Our machines are proudly Made in Austria, and we take pride in that. Local production allows us to meet the highest standards of quality and service.
