MakerBot already has a store in New York City, which showcases innovative 3D printers and a scanner as well as the MakerBot 3D Photo Boot, workshops and unique 3D printed gifts. The same is to be expected of the new stores in Boston and Greenwich, Conn. ”Boston and Greenwich are both terrific, tech-savvy communities, so it seemed natural to expand the MakerBot Store presence in these two areas, ” says Jenny Lawton, president of MakerBot.
