3D printing company MakerBot acquired by Stratasys for $403M

4 pointsby chrisngonzalesalmost 12 years ago
Great move?<p>MakerBot, a Brooklyn, NY-based startup which makes desktop 3D printers for consumers and professionals alike, is being acquired by Stratasys, an Israeli-based 3D printer and additive manufacturer. The initial value of the proposed merger is $403 million based on Stratasys’ stock price today. It’s said that the combination of the two will aid in accelerating adoption of 3D printers by the mass market.

Do you think this move was absolutely necessary for MakerBot? 3D hobbyists out there, how do you feel about this?
