MakerBot Debuts New Portfolio of Printers, Software

MakerBot has released a new line of 3D printing solutions designed for educators and professionals. The new MakerBot Print and Mobile applications are designed to allow professionals to easily integrate MakerBot into their workflow and help educators introduce their students to 3D printing, the company states.

Print and Mobile offer guided setup and features to walk users through the entire 3D printing process. It also eliminates the need for STL files.

The MakerBot Replicator+ and Replicator Mini+ have been re-engineered and tested to offer improved performance, according to a press release.

“We have gone through a cultural shift here at MakerBot over the past year, where listening and understanding the needs of our customers are cornerstones of our company. As a result, we’ve gained an in-depth understanding of the wider needs of professionals and educators that has informed our product development process,” said Jonathan Jaglom, CEO of MakerBot. “Our new solutions for professionals and educators are based on feedback addressing how we could accelerate and streamline the iterative design process and make teaching with a desktop 3D printer easier and more effective.”
