Forbes: Michl joins Y Soft Ventures Board

Y Soft would like to thank the team from CzechInvest for visiting Y Soft in Brno on Jan 13, 2015 and for sharing their short-term outlook of Czech government sponsored initiatives. This meeting was a follow-up to some previous related activities such as the meeting with the Czech Prime Minister and the mutual Y Soft / be3D company introduction that resulted in a significant investment.

David Miklas, founder of be3D, went to America to look for an investor for his 3D printer company - and he met a Czech company.

3D printing has a long history dating back to the early 1980s. At that time, ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) was the first 3D printing material developed. Since then many new printing materials have been developed including PLA (Polyactic acid). Many have predicted that it’s only a matter of time before ABS is completely replaced by the cornstarch-based, biodegradable PLA material, but ABS still ranks among the most favorite 3D printing materials.
