A History of Expertise That Leads to Innovation
Alma Model Shopwas foundedin 1991 byPaolo Romanelli, with a commitment to craftsmanship based on the manual creation of models.
The early 2000smarkeda turning point: the company embracedCAD technologyandbegan developingdigital models, ushering in a new era of production. This marked the beginning of a path of continuous growth, characterized byinvestments in training, technological upgrades, and the expansion of expertise.
Today, the company is changing its name toAlma 3D Lab—a transition that does not erase its history but carries it forward, with the same attention to detail and avision that remains focused on innovation.
From CNC to 3D Printing: Technological Evolution
The transition from manual production to CAD/CAM processes and CNC machine tools has brought about a profound transformation in the way Alma 3D Lab operates.
The adoption of 5-axis machining centers has paved the way for the production of large models with complex geometries, with a level of precision that was previously unattainable.
Since 2023, the company has been investing in 3D printing —a key technology of Industry 4.0—adding the production of high-resolution models made of soft-elastic and rigid materials to its offerings. This evolution expands the scope of its services and strengthens Alma 3D Lab’s position as a full-service technology partner.
