"This was a view endorsed by Sebastiano Palmisano, Managing Director of Model Master. His company used Cibatool BM 5185 to produce two innovative concepts cars — the Xport and Xmall. Both were hailed as examples of Italian automotive styling in its purest form. The basic shape of the cars was built around an X-frame integrated into the roof structure, with rotating quarters and a retractable rear windshield, designed according to the ‘form follows function’ philosophy. After virtual simulations of the car were created, a full scale model was required for testing and this was built using Cibatool. “We used Vantico’s Cibatool board because of the excellent finished surface quality, product reliability and easy machining,” said Palmisano. “This enabled us to make several refinements to model with very little wastage of materials or time.”."
