“The MakerBot Replicatorâ„¢ creates anything you can imagine with the new MakerBot Stepstruderâ„¢ MK8, the extruder is the part of the machine that turns raw feedstock, like ABS (what Lego® is made of) or PLA (a biodegradable material made from corn), into the objects you desire. You can order your MakerBot Replicatorâ„¢ with single or dual MakerBot Stepstruders on it. By choosing the dual extrusion option, you’ll print with two different colors at the same time. MakerBot Dualstrusionâ„¢ unlocks the ability to make beautiful combinations of colors and opens the door to experimenting with multi-material objectsâ€.
