Stratasys was named to the list for its work with KorEcologic, the company behind the Urbee hybrid, which can run on free electricity from a solar panel small enough to mount on the garage. It can also achieve 200 MPH using ethanol or gasoline. Specifically, Stratasys was singled out because the method it used to produce the car body components — 3D printing / 3D production — avoids the heavy tooling used in traditional production methods. This cuts waste, making the process greener, and it significantly reduces development time and associated costs.
