I could tell something exciting wascooking yesterday, based on Bre’s teaser Tweets. A few hours later he announced the MakerBot Replicator™ 2 Desktop 3D Printer. (that’s a mouthful, boy. SEO anyone?)

If you’re not familiar with Makerbot: The Replicator is like a mini factory for your desk that lets you build anything. A 3D printer and dream come true for anyone who likes to make things. To get a glimpse of what people are actually building with Makerbot, check out Thingiverse.

As if that wasn’t enough, Bre and his team also opened a brick and mortar store in Manhattan.

Congrats Bre and Team!
