MakerBot Industries

We love Geek Entertainment TV and so when they stopped by our booth at Maker Faire we were thrilled when Eddie Codel and Irina Slutsky got their cameras and microphones out!

It’s true. The future is here. Really. Anything you can dream in 3D can be made real. MakerBot’s affordable Cupcake CNC, a slightly larger than a breadbox 3D printer, will take your 3D modeled dreams and make them manifest. MakerBot’s Bre Pettis, a man who knows how a lot about making robots and dreams come true, gives Irina the skinny on what MakerBot is and how it works. – Link

Obijuan has used his MakerBot to create the most insanely cool robotic catipillars called REPY-1 Modules. You can find the REPY-1 design on Thingiverse! Super bonus points for adding star wars references to this project!

Here’s another video featuring penguins riding a much longer REPY-1!

Yesterday, we introduced Will, the MakerBot intern. We’re steping up operations and are on the lookout for more interns!

Here at MakerBot, we’re on the lookout for a few interns who are interested in design, engineering, and the internet to work with to produce and develop awesome open source hardware. Some of the projects we have coming up are alternate extruders, 3D scanners, and a conveyor belt build platform.

The ideal candidate will have some experience some or all of the following: digital design, blogging, and general prototyping. Work will vary and include building kits, design work, production, and running a laser-cutter.

Send us a note if you’re interested!
