You’re standing in front of Brooklyn-based MakerBot, one of the leaders – if not THE leader – in affordable 3D printing. Founded in 2009, the company started by marketing a build-it-yourself 3D printer kit. That was then, today you should check out the MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer. It sets new standards for resolution, build volume, speed, ease of use and affordability. While you’re looking at the MakerBot, you might be wondering what 3D printing is? It’s just what it sounds like – 3D printers literally “print” three-dimensional objects. 3D printing is sometimes called additive manufacturing because the objects are printed one layer at a time. What can you do with a 3D printer? The only limit is your imagination. 3D printers have printed a beak for a wounded eagle, an exoskeleton for a little girl born with a rare disease, and even pasta at Google’s kitchen. There are 3D printers that print in wood, steel, carbon fiber and every kind of plastic you can think of. Are there limits to what the Replicator 2 can make? Sure, but there is no end to what we will be able to accomplish with 3D printing technology. Imagine when manufacturers no longer have to make spare parts … in a future with commercial 3D printing; replacement parts will be printed on an as-needed basis. This technology promises to change the manufacturing of physical goods exactly the way that companies like amazon.com use high-speed laser printers to specialized printing presses to print books on demand. Want to be part of a true revolution? Get deep into 3D printing – starting right here with MakerBot.
