A Mr. Richard Feder from Fort Lee, New Jersey emailed us:
Do you have a recent presentation of the latest stuff available on Labs for the manufacturing industry?
Inventor Product Manager, Sam Antos, provided the answer with a PowerPoint presentation. I have taken Sam's slides and fashioned them into a blog article.
