MakerBot Industries

Philip Steffan runs an interesting space starting up in Berlin called Open Design City, and he gave a presentation about MakerBot at the first Ignite in Berlin!

A few years ago, I started Ignite with my friend Brady to bring geeks together in Seattle. Brady has stuck with it and grown Ignite into a worldwide phenomenon. Recently, MakerBot Operator Cathal Garvey spoke at an Ignite event in Ireland and gave a great presentation! Watch it!

According to the MakerBot map, where MakerBot Operators can share their approximate location of their MakerBot, there are more MakerBots clustered in Seattle than any other place on earth. It’s arguable that the greater San Francisco area has more, but you have to go pretty far and include Sacramento. There are lots of MakerBots out there that aren’t on the map, but this is what we have to go by right now! Is your MakerBot on the map?
