The fact that a significant amount of capital is being invested into pricey storefronts, in major cities filled with 3D printers, shows us that this technology is really taking off. Today, another company, iMakr, has announced that they too will soon be opening their own 3D printer shop in Manhattan. iMakr, a UK based company, already has a storefront in England’s largest city of London. In fact, a year ago this month, was the grand opening of that store, located on Clerkenwell Road near Farrington station. The store is actually the largest 3D printing related shop in the entire city of 8.3 million people. The success that iMakr has had at that location is apparent in the fact that next month, on June 19th, they will have their grand opening for their new Manhattan storefront. The exact location has not been revealed to the public as of yet, but they are already accepting reservations for the celebration via Eventbrite.
