What Others are Saying
"I
received your report this week and I am completely impressed with the
depth, variety, and detail. It will be an invaluable reference for the
classes and presentations that I am currently developing for our
division. It's just MAGNIFICENT really!"
Jim Horton, CAD/CAM Systems
Specialist, Central Piedmont Community College
"I
love it. There is no other way to get such in-depth, relevant
information that is also up to date. I have read through most of the report and it's great work, Terry."
Rob Connelly, President,
FineLine Prototyping, Inc.
"The
report is amazing."
Michael Raphael, President,
Direct Dimensions, Inc.
“It has become the bible in

"I
can’t believe how much information from around the world you absorb and
then present in such easy-to-understand terms year after year."
Bene Padovani, Brazil
"Wow,
you have really created a massive resource over the years. The

"The
amount of information in the report is almost overwhelming. I am awed
by its depth and breadth. What's more, the information is not available
anywhere else. For example, we hear how China is changing, but few
people fully understand the transformation that's underway. The report
gives insight and clarification on China and it covers the rest of the
world with the same careful analysis. It also provides insight into new
products and applications that you normally would not hear about, such
as light-weight structures, nanomanufacturing, growing organs, gaming,
and new types of protective gear. One of the secrets of your success is
the extensive travel worldwide, coupled with the information you seek
from experts globally. Thank you for making something so remarkable
available each year."
Boris Fritz,
Northrop Grumman
"It is taking some time to get
