In both the European Statistical Institute has estimated that just under one worker every ten is employed in a high-tech sector, but between the two passes a not very small difference of about 100 thousand employed in the field. This, of course, expresses a difference not only because high technology matters in one area or another, but also in the overall population that lives in those regions.  If we enter th

Making isotropic, multi-material, color, and lower-cost parts than traditional techniques is the promise made by Stratasys with its latest STEP 3D printing technology.  Unveiled last April, this mysterious process carried by the company spin-off Evolve Additive Solutions, is already attracting the interest of the largest investors including LEGO.
