It includes new customizable hardware and software with open
APIs, custom print modes, and the internet’s largest community of
3D printing experts
MakerBot is proud to announce the arrival of MakerBot Labs, an
experimental platform for engineers and developers to create,
build, customize, and collaborate on MakerBot 3D printing
solutions. It was born out of the feedback from MakerBot’s advanced
users looking to tap their innovative spirit and expand their 3D
printing experience.

MakerBot Labs offers the freedom to experiment with advanced 3D
printing features and materials. This gives designers and engineers
a powerful sandbox to push the limits of 3D printing, while still
retaining the option to fall back on extensively tested MakerBot
solutions. Tested reliability when you need it, and the freedom to
experiment and innovate.
“This release marks another stage of MakerBot’s growth and 3D
printing leadership,” explains MakerBot CEO Nadav Goshen. “MakerBot
built some of the industry’s first desktop 3D printers, then the
first fully connected 3D printers, and most recently launched
solutions for Educators and Professionals that go much wider than
our hardware offering. Focusing on these customers’ needs, we
learned that the main barrier to wider 3D printing adoption was the
lack of a reliable and easy to use solution.”
He continues, “now, after setting high industry standards for
what makes a quality and reliable 3D printing experience, we’re
introducing this new, more open platform as a direct response to
our advanced users calling for greater freedom with materials and
software. This comes as an added option to our advanced users who
are looking to experiment, but still need the industry’s best
reliability out of the box. MakerBot is especially proud to offer
the flexibility and experimentation that MakerBot Labs adds to our
existing solutions.”
Here are the first products to be released under the new
MakerBot Labs, available now on MakerBot.com:
New Experimental Extruder
The MakerBot Labs Experimental Extruder is a
customizable extruder with a modifiable design and four
interchangeable nozzles, designed for the advanced user looking to
push the limits of what’s possible with MakerBot 3D printers. The
easily swappable extruder gives users the freedom to quickly switch
from reliable production to sandbox experimentation. Large diameter
draft nozzles enable “draft” printing at higher speeds, while a
harder stainless steel nozzle enables printing in abrasive
materials like metal composites.
New Custom Print Modes in MakerBot Print
MakerBot Print now features the ability to
import and export different custom print setting configurations,
perfect for different materials and varied printing objectives.
Users can define and improve on their own modes, or test modes
available from the new MakerBot Labs Community. Once you’ve found
the perfect setting for your chosen material or print mode, save a
custom Print Mode and share it with the community.
New MakerBot Labs Community on Thingiverse
Browse, collaborate, discuss, and download.
The new MakerBot Labs Community on Thingiverse is the single
resource hub for user submissions and collaborations like custom
Material Print Modes, custom hardware mods, new apps and software
APIs, and discussion of advanced techniques and applications.
New MakerBot Labs API
Developers can now access software and
hardware APIs to interface with and expand the capabilities of
MakerBot 3D printers.
The freedom to experiment. The flexibility to innovate.
