    MakerBot is releasing 4 new composite filaments

    Hi guys. Just hanging out here at CES, and I had the chance to meet with MakerBot CEO Jenny Lawton yesterday. She showed me four of the new filaments that MakerBot will be releasing this year (in conjunction with smart extruders capable of printing with them). Those new materials are Limestone, Maple, Iron, and Bronze. I had a chance to hold objects printed with these, and walked away rather impressed. Read and see more about these at: http://3dprint.com/35588/makerbot-composite-filaments/

    LayBrick (Sandstone = May 2013

    Bronze + Bamboo Fill = May 2014

    So where exactly is Makerbot doing ANYTHING remotely innovative? Except for selling Extruders in a triple Pack because they are so hard to clean that you need a spare one on any given day.

    Agree. But they sure do like to make it look like they are.
