“Sam’s Club is a great retailer for MakerBot products. Its customers
include professionals, small business owners, entrepreneurs, educators,
and others who have a natural interest in desktop 3D printing,” said
Mark Schulze, CRO of MakerBot. “We believe that exposing more retail
shoppers to desktop 3D printing will help accelerate the adoption of the
technology. Our revamped in-club display at Sam’s Club makes it easier
for customers to understand the technology and the benefits it offers
today.”
The MakerBot Replicator Mini is an educational, portable and easy-to-use
compact 3D printer that is just right for the office, classroom or home.
It provides access to the unparalleled MakerBot 3D Ecosystem, a growing
collection of products, materials, software, accessories, services, and
content that integrate seamlessly to make 3D printing more accessible to
everyone. Sam’s Club will have the four core MakerBot PLA Filament
colors for sale at the club: black, blue, red and white.
“There’s a growing appetite for 3D printing as people see how many
professional and practical uses there are for the technology,” said Dawn
von Bechmann, senior vice president of technology, Sam’s Club. “We’re
excited to extend MakerBot nationwide and bring our members the latest
innovation at a great value.”
The leading MakerBot 3D Ecosystem includes MakerBot
Desktop software for preparing prints, the MakerBot
Mobile app with cloud platform to initiate and monitor prints
remotely, and MakerBot
Thingiverse, the world’s largest 3D design community. The MakerBot
Replicator Smart Extruder is a groundbreaking innovation that
minimizes printing downtime by enabling users to swap a worn extruder in
minutes. The Smart Extruder also allows users to adapt quickly to new
innovations in the evolving world of 3D printing. When MakerBot
introduces new materials like MakerBot
Composite PLA, customers will be able to purchase a Smart Extruder
made to handle the new filament, instead of having to buy an entirely
new printer.
MakerBot 3D printers are used for Real-Time PrototypingTMand for the 3D printing of custom models, replacement parts,
architectural designs, collectibles and many other items. 3D printing
transforms the design process and is also a great tool for educators who
want to train and teach future engineers, designers and anyone who needs
to be prepared for the jobs of tomorrow.
