In October, the in-plant started offering 3D printing services using a MakerBot Replicator 2.
"It's about the size of a small microwave," observes Hadenfeldt.
So far, the device has printed a number of paying 3D projects for the in-plant, but more importantly it is keeping the in-plant relevant and bringing attention to its services.
