MakerBot Founder: 3D Printing And The ‘Next Industrial Revolution’
You can 3D-print just about anything, from dresses to snowboards to a human face. A big part of the reason 3D printing is closing in on the mainstream is thanks to MakerBot, which is equipping anyone with an imagination — and $US2200 for a MakerBot Replicator — to print the physical manifestations of their dreams.
Nine Incredible Objects That Prove 3D Printers Are Totally Worth It
If you’ve got a 3D printer and a little bit of imagination, you can make pretty much anything.

If you ordered a Makerbot Replicator 2 recently, you might have noticed that it was a bit late getting to you. That’s because when Makerbot decided to launch the Replicator 2 in Australia it ran into an obnoxious hurdle, namely, in the form of the the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service.
