CNC MACHINING

From CAD/CAM design to precision milling:
custom-made products for the industrial and footwear sectors.

CNC machining

Custom Precision for Complex Shapes and Materials

CNC machining has always been at the heart of Alma 3D Lab and remains one of our key strengths. CNC milling allows us to machine plastics, engineered woods, composites, and light metals with a level of precision and repeatability that additive manufacturing cannot yet match in certain contexts.

Thanks to our in-house expertise in CAD/CAM design, we manage the entire process—from the 3D file to the finished part—ensuring total control over the quality of the final product.

areas of application

Custom precision milling for the footwear industry, industrial prototyping, and the production of technical components made from various materials.

Molds and Industrial Equipment

We manufacture custom molds, jigs, and equipment for production lines, with the dimensional precision required by industrial processes.

Single pieces and small custom-made batches

No minimum order. We produce custom orders for customers who need just one or a few pieces, maintaining the same quality standards as our mass-production lines.

Finishing and rework on semi-finished products

We perform rework, surface finishing, or dimensional correction on previously machined parts, with complete control over the final result.

Why Choose Alma3D Lab

Many people use 3D printing today. What sets Alma 3D Lab apart is its ability to take a component from the mathematical model to the finished part without changing suppliers.

Thanks to the combination of industrial SLS 3D printing and a fleet of 3- and 5-axis CNC machines, Alma is able to print the part in Nylon 12 and, if necessary, subsequently machine it using precision milling and drilling—all within the same facility. The result is tolerances, finishes, and fits that printing alone cannot guarantee, combined with the design freedom that only SLS technology allows.

A tangible benefit: a single supplier, shorter wait times, and greater control over the final quality.
