Along with the program, MakerBot also released Modio, the first MakerBot-Ready App, which allows users to merge digital and analog play to create posable figures with a collection of interchangeable parts, templates and custom elements. It also includes a printing visualization interface so users can determine the size and layout off all the parts on the printer's build plate.
“We have been approached by developers for a long time who have tremendous ideas that they want to bring to life with 3D printing capabilities,” said Bre Pettis, CEO of MakerBot. “The MakerBot Developer Program finally enables developers to create apps that are designed to work seamlessly with our MakerBot Replicator Desktop 3D Printers and live within the MakerBot 3D Ecosystem certified as MakerBot-Ready Apps. It will be very exciting to see what develops.”
