As a must-attend landmark for digital transformation for the companies and public sectors of all sizes, Connectikpeople.co focuses now on the 3D

printing trend.

Since more or less 2009, there are set of key players of this industry such as Stratasys and MakerBot who build this market.

Their path until now has been exceptional, and Connectikpeople.co seizes this opportunity to recall that, MakerBot reports $11.5 million in total revenue, for its first quarter of 2013, compared to $15.7 million for all of 2012.

Thingiverse.com, MakerBot's online content portal for the sharing of user-generated digital design content, has henceforth more than 90,000 3D product files available for sharing, and generates more than 500,000 unique visitors and 1,000,000 downloads each month.

Connectikpeople.co can also observe that, a majority of MakerBot's sales are via direct-to-consumer channels on the company's website. MakerBot also sells through distributors outside the U.S. and has the MakerBot store.

The merger of Stratasys and MakerBot means that, both companies will jointly develop and implement strategies for building on their complementary strengths, intellectual property and technical know-how, and other unique assets and capabilities.

Autodesk joins the market with  Spark, billed as, an open 3D printing platform that aims to make it easier for hardware manufacturers, software developers, materials scientists, product designers, and more to participate in and benefit from this technology.
