One of the biggest names responsible for making 3D printing available to consumers, MakerBot, has just been picked up by a company known for its professional-grade 3D printing, Stratasys. MakerBot will continue to operate as a separate company and under its own name, and no immediate plans for the two companies to integrate products or services have been announced.
