As reported at Ars Technica, 3D printer manufacturer MakerBot is laying off staff:
On Friday, Motherboard reported that 3D printing company MakerBot laid off 20 percent of its staff today, estimating that approximately 100 people from the 500-person company had their positions cut.
Make magazine also has coverage. MakerBot is closing all of its retail locations (in Manhattan, Boston, and Greenwich, Connecticut). The layoffs have been attributed to consolidation with Stratasys, which bought MakerBot for $403 million in 2013, and Stratasys' recent $100 million write-down on MakerBot's valuation.
