MakerBot, a subsidiary of Stratasys, Ltd., is leading the Next Industrial Revolution by setting the standards in reliable and affordable desktop 3D printing. 

Founded in 2009, MakerBot has built the largest installed base of desktop 3D printers sold to innovative and industry-leading customers worldwide, including engineers, architects, designers, educators and consumers. 

MakerBot has been honored with many accolades, including Popular Mechanics’ “Overall Winner” for best 3D printer, Time Magazine’s “Best Inventions of 2012,” Popular Mechanics’ “Editor’s Choice Award,” Popular Science’s “Product of the Year,” Fast Company’s “One of the World’s Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Consumer Electronics,” and many more. Join the Next Industrial Revolution!

MakerBot was named one of the top 20 startups in New York City and has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Economist, Wired, The Colbert Report, Fast Company, Engadget, Make: Magazine, Rolling Stone, Time.com, IEEE Spectrum, CNN, Financial Times, NPR, and many others.

What is Desktop 3D Printing?
This differs from traditional manufacturing, such as machining, which often involves subtracting a material in order to achieve a certain shape.
3D printers have a history of being very large and expensive; however, MakerBot sells top-of-the-line 3D printers that are made, priced, and sized for the desktop. 

The MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer measures 38 x 49 x 32 cm (14.7 x 19.1 x 12.8 in), making it ideal for a workspace or tabletop at home or in the office.

What’s new about the MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer?
 The MakerBot Replicator 2 sets a new standard in resolution and accuracy (true-to-life models) and build volume (size of model). 
Constructed with an industrial strength pressed steel frame, which has advantages for both form and function: the machine looks perfect in an office, lab, workbench, and even the living room and is durable enough to withstand high 3D printing speeds. Top features include:

100-micron layer resolution.

Very large build volume: 410 in3 (11.2 L x 6.0 W x 6.1 H in) / 6691.0 cm3 (28.4 x 15.5 x 15.2 cm). 

MakerBot PLA Filament, a bioplastic derived from corn.  

Professionally engineered and expertly built for speed. 

Pop-out build platform for convenient print retrieval. 

New MakerBot MakerWare software that speeds the 3D printing process.

Brand new look and feel.

Responsive, expert customer support.

How good is the quality of the MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer?
The MakerBot Replicator 2 has a layer resolution of 100 microns (0.1 mm). That’s over 2.5 times finer than the default layer resolution of the first generation MakerBot Replicator Desktop 3D Printer, meaning users can make objects so smooth they don’t need sanding or any other post-production. 
Experienced users will have the freedom to work in even higher layer resolutions.
How big is the build space on the MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer?
The new build volume is ideal for large architectural or mechanical models, or for projects with many different parts, such as a model car. 
With all that build space, MakerBot operators can also make several different things at once, meaning they save time for the next projects on their lists.

MakerBot Mini = 10.0 L X 10.0 W X 12.5 H CM

Replicator 2X = 24.6 L X 15.2 W X 15.5 H CM

Replicator Z18 = 30.5 L X 30.5 W X 45.7 H CM

• The MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer is an ideal machine for making true-to-life replicas, high-resolution models, functioning prototypes, visual aids, real world products, and more. Designed and optimized for MakerBot PLA Filament, a bioplastic derived from corn, The MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer makes things quickly and efficiently that not only look great, but also feel amazing to the touch.
• Who should purchase a MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer?
• The MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer is the ideal tool for the professional or amateur designer. The combination of high-resolution, massive build volume, increased build speed, and user friendly hardware and software make it the perfect machine for modeling, quick prototyping, tooling, short-run production applications, and just having fun making three-dimensional “things”. The MakerBot Replicator 2 works quietly and fits perfectly on a desk, workbench, countertop, or table without marring any surfaces.

What software and operating system do you need to run a MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer?

The MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer is compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux operating systems. In order for your computer to communicate with the MakerBot Replicator 

You need to download our new MakerBot MakerWare Desktop 3D Printer software. 

MakerWare is free software that includes everything you need to prepare models for your MakerBot, including a lightning fast toolpath engine and a brand new user-friendly interface.

What is the layer resolution of the MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer?

The 100 micron layer resolution setting on the MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer enables users will be able to create smooth, professional-quality objects right off the build platform, with no sanding or post-production needed. 

With MakerBot’s new user-friendly MakerWare software download, experienced users have the freedom to explore even finer resolutions, down to 20 microns.

What is the difference between the MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer and the MakerBot Replicator 2X Desktop 3D Printer?
What’s great about MakerBot PLA Filament?
Even better, MakerBot PLA Filament is highly reliable, even without a heated platform, saving you 32% in energy costs. MakerBot PLA Filament comes in a variety of colours and effects, including translucent, fluorescent, glittery and metallic.
