MakerBot has had a storied history since its founding in 2009. Jonathan Jaglom, the current CEO, has been in his role for six months now, and has been working to understand the company, its team, and its growth potential in that time. Today, October 8, Jaglom and MakerBot have announced a further restructuring of the company in order to focus on the future. The restructure includes an immediate reduction in force of 20% of its global staff, as well as a consolidation of the workforce to center largely in the Brooklyn-based corporate HQ. The team in Brooklyn will continue work on MakerBot's current generation of 3D printers, while the fourth generation will be developed in collaboration with an as-yet-unnamed contract manufacturer.
