This MakerBot Made 3D Printing Hot

摘要

RELEASED IN 2012, THE MakerBot Replicator sold for $1,749. For that price, you could own the first mass-market, consumer-grade 3D printer. It's the equivalent of the first Homebrew desktop computer or an early laser printer in terms of starting a revolution. This was a tool that extended the reach of the DIY maker community and, because of its widespread appeal and useful tech, brought 3D printing from sci-fi novelty to the mainstream.
