MakerBot Industries

Here at MakerBot, we’re big fans of the McMaster.com website. It’s basically the worlds biggest hardware store and they sell pretty much anything mechanical that you’d ever want to lay your hands on. Their online catalog is one of the best we’ve encountered in terms of ease of use. You can search quickly and easily, and if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for you can whittle down category by category until it tells you what you are looking for. The whole way there are nice, clear pictures and lots of descriptions of what the various things mean. Not to mention the gluttonous amount of specifications and CAD drawings they provide.

However, there has always been one thing lacking from their website: NO DEEP LINKING! As it was a javascript / ajax based site, it was always a pain to link to that specific part you were looking for. Well, fear no longer because they relaunched their website today and added this crucial picture. Want a $1344 bar of titanium? No problem.

Thank you McMaster!
