They’ve announced a “definitive merger agreement” where MakerBot would converge with a subsdiary of Stratasys in a “stock-for-stock transaction.” After selling more than 22,000 3D printers since its inception in 2009, MakerBot is seen as a leader and pioneer in the 3D printing space, and about 11,000 of those sales were due to the Replicator 2 alone. No terms were disclosed in the deal, but it’s clear both parties have a vested interest in growing the nascent but increasingly crowded 3D printing space.
