Cube vs MakerBot

   The way the leading 3D printing companies make their product is in fact different. 3D Systems, 'Cube' and Stratasys  'MakerBot' are both different pieces of technology, yet perform the same job. 3D Systems, 'Cube' produces mostly square items and is sold in Microsoft stores and is hoping to reach some homes for sales in the holiday season. Then there is the 'MakerBot' used by Stratasys which produces more non-linear objects, yet you have to be willing to pay. Both of these products are sold in large malls in which inhibit tech-savvy stores.
     So now having the ability to sell 3D printers for home use rather than having the company itself manufacture or rather print products can hopefully boost the companies to more success.
