At a live press conference held today, Bre Pettis of MakerBot Industries announced the MakerBot Replicator 2 (and 2X), their new sleek 3D desktop printer which features “a resolution capability of 100 microns and a massive 410 cubic inch build volume” (was 270 microns in original Replicator) (full specs).

Here’s the video announcement:

Here is MAKE’s video tour of the new machine:

Bre also announced the opening of the MakerBot retail store at 298 Mulberry Street in Manhattan (here are some photos). It offers “customers a full MakerBot experience, including demonstrations and the opportunity to buy cool MakerBotted gifts and accessories of all kinds.”

Visitors will have the unprecedented opportunity to experience the MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer, live and in-person. Stop in to watch MakerBots at work, learn about 3D design and 3D printing, and leave with an authentic MakerBot-made gift for you or someone you think is cool enough to have it.
