    MakerBot Expands to 300 Sam's Club Locations

    MakerBot and big box retail giants Sam's Club say that bringing 3D printers to retail stores will help accelerate the adoption of 3D printing among the general public, and the companies are now offering the MakerBot Replicator Mini Compact 3D Printer at more than 300 Sam’s Club locations in the United States. Sam’s Club, a division of Wal-Mart Stores, serves millions of members through 647 clubs in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. MakerBot says their line of 3D printers and scanner, software and apps such as MakerBot Mobile and MakerBot PrintShop, MakerBot Learning training programs, MakerBot MakerCare will get additional exposure from the agreement. MakerBot also runs a group of retail stores of their own in New York, Boston and Greenwich, Connecticut. You can read the whole story here: http://3dprint.com/53932/makerbot-and-sams-club/

    Lovely. Our channel sales folks at Makerbot are saying we aren't selling enough so what do they do? They want us to compete with Sam's Club? You gotta be kidding me.

    Not good news if you happen to be a Makerbot retailer like us who now has an 800 pound gorilla to compete with.
