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

Heels, insoles, and uppers milled with millimeter-level precision, true to the CAD file. Our long-standing specialty, which remains a key strength to this day.

We manufacture functional parts made of polyurethane, ABS, and composite materials to verify geometries, fits, and mechanical behavior prior to production.

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

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.

We perform rework, surface finishing, or dimensional correction on previously machined parts, with complete control over the final result.
Application Areas
From footwear to heavy industry—precision milling is used wherever dimensional accuracy is required on plastics, composites, and light metals.

Precision-milled heels, shoe lasts, insoles, and accessories. This is our core business, where we have built up extensive experience and a solid track record over the years.

Structural components, panels, jigs, and equipment for the automotive and racing industries, where tight tolerances and lightweight materials are standard requirements.

Aluminum and composite parts for aerospace and defense applications, featuring high dimensional accuracy and traceable process documentation.

Custom-made equipment, jigs, fixtures, and components for production lines and industrial plants. Single pieces or small batches, with fast delivery.

Housings, enclosures, plates, and brackets for electronic and electromechanical equipment, featuring multi-axis machining of high-stability plastics.

Precision components for medical instruments, custom orthotics, and technical devices that require precise finishes and certified materials.

We produce functional prototypes for any industrial sector, from design to delivery, with quick turnaround times and no minimum order requirements.

Models, prototypes, and decorative components for the industrial design and furniture sectors, made of polyurethane and composite materials.
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.
