Desktop 3D printing is the next big thing to happen in printing technology. While there can be some unintended uses, the technology is aimed for good and will empower users with ability to print solid objects from digital models affordably. The new upgraded model is 37% bigger than the original, and features finer prints with greater accuracy at 100 microns per inch. The upgraded model will enable users to print larger, faster, and more detailed objects.

MakerBot is a well-known name when it comes to desktop 3D printing, and they have now unveiled their second generation of popular desktop 3-D printer - "The Replicator 2".

Don't forget to watch the MakerBot Replicator 2 in action video posted below.

While MakerBot is aimed to make 3D printing affordable and easily accessible, the current range of printers cost $1749 upwards. Prices will surely get down as the technology matures and gets mainstream.
