In July 2024 at Model Maker Group, we welcomed a special guest: Bacci Del Buono came to visit us with The Boat Show. A leading tv program dedicated to the international nautical field.

The crew got to spend a day with us and witnessed what we do every day. We told them our story and explained that hard work and passion, people and technology resulted in immense growth and unbelievable satisfaction.

During filming CEO Elisabetta Fantasia and COO Giuseppe Capobianco proudly showed them our Company and brought Bacci and the entire crew where it all started over two decades ago.

Bacci Del Buono passionately observed the model making process and the distinct phases of production, from the project to the physical model. He admired the intricate work that goes into manufacturing a miniature yacht, stating that “A model is a work of art, and art is emotion.”

Giuseppe Capobianco founder and COO of Model maker Group has recently been interviewed by Press Mare to talk about how the Company invested in new technologies throughout the years.

The purchase of the first 5-axis CNC and later a second one with the creation of a separate division specialized in milling gave Model Maker Group the opportunity to pivot and produce yacht parts in scale 1:1, although the production of scale models remains the core of our business.

Capobianco talked about how it became clear early on that to build highly detailed scale models and to achieve increasingly realistic results, technology was going to be the key; for this reason, the Company invested in the acquisition of five 3D printers, creating high quality models that faithfully represent reality.
