Trends, drivers and challenges in global construction markets are outlined on page 30 whilst macro-economic forecasts for Italy and a review of its manufacturing and metalforming sectors can be found on page 44. We also present a selection of some of the latest global tube and pipe forming innovations (including cutting and bending) on page 52.

We chronicle the factors to consider when choosing sheet metal CAD/CAM software to meet your needs, now and in the future, on page 60.
