This fall, Boeing announced plans to build an assembly line for the 787 Dreamliner in South Carolina. The new commercial-plane factory will be located in North Charleston. In a statement South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford said, "The decision represents not only enormously good news for our state's economy, but also a telling dividend from our state's continued efforts to better our business climate." Those of us who live and work here could not agree more as we watch South Carolina become a major hub for rapid prototyping and manufacturing. If you're involved with a product development project, keep in mind that The Rapid Prototyping Center at SiMT is always ready to assist you!  
 
Sincerely,
