Home Depot brings 3-D printers to shelves at select stores

The 3-D printer movement got a boost months ago when Home Depot began offering 3-D printers and scanners for sale through its website.



Now the world’s largest home improvement retailer is bringing the products to shelves in select markets. Home Depot is introducing MakerBot 3-D printers and scanners in select stores in Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco.



On the retailer’s website, a fifth-generation MakerBot Replicator Desktop 3-D Printer sells for $2,899. A MakerBot Digitizer Desktop 3D Scanner is priced at $799.



MakerBot is based in Brooklyn, N.Y.
