Makerbot and StataSys

A few days ago there was an entry in the blog of Makerbot which proved the rumors: Makerbot is now a part of StataSys.

Makerbot will continue to work as a separat unit and still focus on the consumer market.

Stratasys

I  see it with mixed feelings: On one hand it is a big chance: Now Makerbot can use patents of StrataSys one of the biggest 3d printer companies and that could be a big benefit especially since the technology can be transfered and some of the experience could go to Makerbot.

On the other hand it always feel a little like a big player will get rid of a competer before he gets big enough to take a serious market share. Possible bad things that could happen: Price rises, redundancies and split. But the good once are very interesting: More solid base, knowledge- and patent transfers can help very much.

Time will show what will happen. I think it could be a big success if it will happen as it was intended. :)

If my website sucks, you do not need to visit it.
Have a nice day and think about how much you have payed to visit it? Nothing...
How many ads do you see at it? None.

How much money do I earn from it? Nothing.
Does it cost me something to host it? Hell yeah.

I do not see why I should provide it to you to be insulted?
