Massimo Stola 1960 - 2006On the 25th April 2006, at the age of just 46, Massimo Stola passed away after a long illness which he fought with courage and dignity.
He was a good person, and a tireless worker of great intelligence.
The company owed so much to him in the areas of surface mathematics and CNC milling of models.
Between 1979 and 1981, Massimo was a pioneer in Italy for the development of dedicated software in these areas.
