MakerBot Industries Brings Manufacturing Back To Brooklyn

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday May 10, 2012 @12:07AM from the back-in-the-saddle dept.

pacopico writes "A few decades ago, Brooklyn was filled with manufacturing companies. Today? Er, not so much. It's mostly restaurants and condos. That is, except for MakerBot Industries, which is assembling 3D printers for consumers by hand at a real, live factory. Businessweek profiled the MakerBot founder Bre Pettis and his goal of revitalizing manufacturing in New York, describing him as a weird 'throwback who lives in the future.'"

He's a shameless, psychopathic self-promoter that steals from others to sell to you. Overpriced, rickety toys marketed to the hilt. All you suckers can't wait to pull your pants down and spread cheek. Better that than to admit you got conned, eh?
