"3D印表機製造商紐約設店"

這家公司剛推出它廣受歡迎印表機的較大機型。

MakerBot產業已在紐約打造了一家3D列印店。這家公司以製造小型的3D複製印表機而聞名，店面開幕的同時，其較大型且更為精準的機型也上市了。MakerBot表示除了販售家用複製機器以外，店面也會安排實物宣傳和工作坊，以便使此科技對消費者更具吸引力。

複製印表機的運作方式是鋪上層層液態塑膠來打造物體。塑膠很快變硬後便形成單一的物體。業餘愛好者，也就是3D列印狂熱者，常常製造像是玩具和電子產品外殼的物體。原始的機器適合一般使用者，而複製印表機2.0目標用戶則鎖定專業設計師和重度狂熱份子。

經營3D印表機販售公司的馬特．福迪表示這些機器越來越受歡迎了。他表示：「過去兩三年內，我們真的見證了負擔得起的3D印表機市場在英國激增。很多類型的人都使用這些機器，不僅是專業人士而已，還有其他有點子並需要能將其具體化、觸摸到的人。」

(Technology) 3D Printer Maker Sets Up a New York Store

The company has just launched a larger version of its popular printer.

MakerBot Industries has established a 3D printing store in New York. The company is known for making the small Replicator 3D printer, and the opening of the shop coincides with the release of a much larger and more precise model.MakerBot said that in addition to selling home fabrication machines, the store would also organize demonstrations and workshops to make the technology more appealing to consumers.

The Replicator works by laying down thin sheets of liquid plastic to build up objects. The plastic quickly hardens to form a single object.Home hackers, as 3D printing enthusiasts are known, commonly make objects like toys and cases for electronic gadgets. The original machine is good for regular users, while the Replicator 2.0 is aimed at professional designers and serious enthusiasts.

Mat Fordy, who runs a company that sells 3D printers, says that these machines are becoming popular.Weve really seen the affordable 3D printer market in the UK explode over the last couple of years. Many types of people use them, not just professionals, but people who have an idea that they need to touch and hold, he said.
