The MakerBot Stepstruder™ is built on years of successful engineering. You can order your MakerBot Replicator™ with single or dual MakerBot Stepstruders on it. By choosing the dual extrusion option, you’ll print with two different colors at the same time. MakerBot Dualstrusion™ unlocks the ability to make beautiful combinations of colors and opens the door to experimenting with with multi-material objects. Choosing a single extruder makes the machine cheaper for those wanting to explore the power of the MakerBot Replicator™ on a budget.

Onboard Interface Controller
Each MakerBot Replicator™ now ships standard with an LCD panel and videogame- style control pad. The LCD screen provides build statistics and monitoring information, and full control of the machine without the use of a computer. Using the SD Card slot, you can load models and begin builds directly from the control pad. Pack up the Bot, and grab your SD Card and you’re ready to go to your friends birthday and make all the party favors. Print anywhere!

Open Source Hardware
MakerBot Industries believes in the power of sharing. We encourage MakerBot Operators to publish their designs to Thingiverse so that others may be inspired by their work and build on it. We lead by example by sharing the machine designs including the lasercut files and the software that runs our machines.

The Ultimate Engineering Tool.
The MakerBot Replicator™ is the ultimate engineering tool. Engineers can design for the MakerBot using a wide range of digital design tools. Young engineers can use simple design tools like TinkerCAD and professional engineers can design things to make on the Makerbot with high end tools like AutoCAD and Solidworks. Engineers love to be able to make their inventions quickly and iterate to make their product or invention the best it can be. That’s what being MakerBot Operator is all about.

Your Child will be the Next Generation Inventor!
Parents with a MakerBot Replicator™ offer the next generation an opportunity to learn the digital designing skills that will be required to solve the problems of the future. You'll never have to buy another toy for your kids again. Print puzzles, action figures, and remote controlled cars. Children with access to a MakerBot will have an edge in the future job market. Just like the youth of the 1980’s, who had access to computers, children with access to a MakerBot Replicator™ will become the leaders who make a better tomorrow.

The MakerBot Replicator™ in the Classroom
A MakerBot Replicator™ turns any classroom into place where students get inspired to innovate. Teaching about the Apollo moon landing? Print out a model of the lunar lander that your students can touch! As a teacher you can make models to show how chemical molecules fit together, create models that demonstrate the laws of physics, or create manipulatives to take learning out of the theory with real things. Give your students access to the MakerBot Replicator™ and watch their eyes go big when they see their own designs become real.
