14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft is really trying to fully embrace the 3D printing concept, and after integrating support for such tech in Windows 8.1, the company has now started selling 3D printers in its stores.
A total of 18 different Microsoft stores are now selling the MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer and the company promises that each of these locations can show a live demo of the device in action.
“The Microsoft retail stores are the only full line stores outside of MakerBot’s own NYC store where you can purchase a MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer in person and take it home the same day,” MakerBot said in a statement published on its website.
