Time to move away from Thingiverse?
It’s official: Two of the biggest names in 3D printing are joining forces.
Minneapolis-based Stratasys plans to acquire Brooklyn-based MakerBot in a $403 million merger. If all goes as planned, MakerBot will be a separate subsidiary to Stratasys, giving Stratasys access to the desktop 3D market more or less dominated by MakerBot, while giving MakerBot access to Stratasys’s cutting-edge R&D.
