About Pixelmolkerei
Pixelmolkerei is a Swiss studio specializing in medical visualization, scientific animation and immersive healthcare training. Based in Chur, it brings together 3D digital art, medical knowledge and software development to explain anatomy, demonstrate medical devices and support procedural learning. Established in 2001 and incorporated in 2009, the company has expanded from a specialist CGI and medical animation business into interactive applications and virtual reality simulation.
The studio works with surgeons, clinical experts and healthcare manufacturers to develop anatomical models, surgical animations and training environments. Its work supports medical device education across areas including orthopedics, maxillofacial surgery and implant dentistry, alongside applications for hospitals, academic clinics and vocational healthcare education.
Visualization and interactive learning
Pixelmolkerei produces tailored anatomical, surgical and molecular visualizations, combining animation with film and interactive content. Its video capabilities include live surgery recordings, medical testimonials, 360-degree surgical footage and green screen production. Interactive development extends to mobile applications for iOS and Android, web-based 3D experiences and real-time product configurators.
Its proprietary piXRealities™ platform provides customizable virtual reality simulations for surgical training and procedural onboarding. Training can take place on-site or remotely, helping organizations deliver practical learning without relying exclusively on live surgical settings. The platform supports educational applications for both medical practitioners and operating room staff.
Pixelmolkerei also supplies the hardware and deployment support needed to deliver these experiences, including VR and AR headsets, dedicated computers, international shipping and technical assistance. This combines content development, application programming and equipment fulfillment within its training offering.
Beyond healthcare, the studio applies its interactive visualization capabilities to industrial and commercial design, including furniture configuration. Its production approach connects specialist visual content with software that users can explore, configure or practice with, adapting the format to the educational or product communication task.
