MakerBot raises $10 million in venture funding

by Laura Domela

New York based startup MakerBot makes open source desktop scale 3D printers has raised ten million bucks in venture funding.

“Their latest round of investments brought interest from some major hitters in the tech-world: Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (already an angel investor), Foundry Group, True Ventures, and RRE. $10 million is a phenomenal boost for any open source business, but it may serve especially well here as MakerBot is one of only a handful of companies in the world successfully bringing 3D printing out of specialized industrial applications and into the hands of the individual. With this investment we’ll hopefully see MakerBot transform desktop 3D printing from a novelty to a widespread technology we all want to own.”

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
