MakerBot and Layer By Layer Team Up to Add Streaming and Digital Rights Technology to MakerBot 3D Ecosystem
finance.yahoo.com

MakerBot is pleased to announce the acquisition of the start-up software company Layer By Layer. Layer By Layer, originally based in California, joined MakerBot to help create user-friendly platforms that are fully assimilated into the MakerBot® 3D Ecosystem and has been working with MakerBot on developing systems that help make 3D printing technology easier and more accessible through innovations in design combined with computer science. The goal of the acquisition of Layer By Layer is to help accelerate MakerBot’s position in the entertainment and 3D printing management spaces, as part of its effort to build a more robust 3D ecosystem.

One of the recent projects the Layer By Layer team has tackled is the ability for MakerBot to implement streaming technology into the MakerBot Digital Store and provide a digital rights management system for 3D printable files. Secure streaming, launched in October with MakerBot’s Digital Store, is a first for MakerBot and what the company believes to be a major inducement for more licensed content partners to join MakerBot and provide their intellectual property for 3D printing.
