MakerBot Industries is opening the first U.S. retail store dedicated to 3-D printing. Explore a space that may soon arrive at a shopping mall near you.

 

Yesterday MakerBot Industries, perhaps the world's most prolific 3-D printing company, announced the opening of the first retail store dedicated to the hobby.

If the New York store proves successful, the world of 3-D printing may explode, transforming from a niche pastime into a mainstream consumer market.

But enough speculating: take a look inside for yourself.
