MakerBot at CES 2015 | Showcasing Customers, Winning Awards For the 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), we focused our efforts on telling the story of the MakerBot 3D Ecosystem, our growing and continually improving range of hardware, software, services, and solutions designed to make the 3D printing process easier and more accessible for everyone. We were excited to be at CES and meet as many 3D printing enthusiasts as we could. By the end of the week, and many thousands of great conversations later, we’d shared our knowledge that MakerBot is creating the most comprehensive 3D Ecosystem to support our customers; picked up five awards, and started greeting each other with, “We’re number 18!” Here’s why. Our Customers and Partners Were Superstars We’re proud of our MakerBot products and services, but prouder still of how they help customers and partners leverage the power of Real-Time Prototyping to accelerate product development workflows, educate students, remake design processes and more. At CES 2015, we decided to shine a spotlight on some of the people who are making wonderful things with MakerBot’s technology: the brilliant engineers at GE FirstBuild, who are prototyping the next generation of smart refrigerators; the talented designers at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, who test designs for housewares; and a dedicated, creative teacher at Whitby School who uses MakerBot Replicator 3D Printers to bring everything from ecology to economics to life. Special thanks, too, to our panel discussion guests that included our booth guests and partners The Foundry and TTI Floor Care (Hoover Vacuums). Manufacturers, designers, educators, and others lined up at the MakerBot booth to talk to representatives from all these organizations. They were the superstars of the week and we can’t thank them enough for all their efforts! MakerBot PLA Composite Filament Picks Up Three Awards Our newly announced MakerBot PLA Composite Filaments generated lots of interest and recognition. These composites of MakerBot PLA and a high concentration of functional material — iron, bronze, limestone, and maple — are beautiful, realistic and highly stabilized. These new filaments will be available for purchase in late 2015. –Engadget Best of CES 2015: Best Maker-friendly Technology –Popular Mechanics: CES 2015 Editors’ Choice Awards –Popular Science: The Best of CES 2015, Products of the Future MakerBot PLA Composite Filaments were also featured in Fast Company’s list: The 9 Best Ideas From CES 2015. When the composite filaments are released, the potential of the swappable MakerBot Replicator Smart Extruder will start to be realized. In just minutes, you will be able to swap in a new extruder optimized for these innovative filaments. Then you’ll be ready to create prototypes that look and feel like the real thing, so that you can accelerate Real-Time Prototyping—without purchasing a new 3D printer!
