MakerBot Innovation Centers are designed to be large-scale 3D printing solutions for universities, companies and other organizations, built in partnership with MakerBot and its knowledgeable engineering, consulting and training teams. MakerBot Innovation Centers are intended to increase innovation and catalyze new ideas and growth. At a university, a MakerBot Innovation Center can be open to the student body, and often the community, as a destination for fostering innovation and making things. At a business, a MakerBot Innovation Center can be a hub for design, product development, rapid prototyping and even small-scale manufacturing. In its one year of use, the MakerBot Innovation Center at SUNY New Paltz, as Freedman noted, has met and exceeded the university’s expectations.

MakerBot is a leader in the desktop 3D printing industry and was founded in 2009 as one of the first companies to bring 3D printing to an accessible and affordable level. With more than 80,000 MakerBot 3D printers in the world, MakerBot now has one of the largest installed bases and market shares of the desktop 3D printing industry. The robust MakerBot 3D Ecosystem combines hardware, software, apps, materials, training, support, consulting, retail stores and partnerships in order to make 3D printing easy and accessible for everyone.
