Staples 3D printing service
December 2, 2012
Staples plans to launch a new online 3D printing service called “Staples Easy 3D.
You upload electronic files to the Staples Office Center and pick up the models in a nearby Staples stores, or have them shipped to your address. Staples will produce the models with the Mcor IRIS, a 3D printer with the highest color capability in the industry and lowest operating cost of any commercial-class 3D printer.
The online platform for Staples Easy 3D will initially be made available in the Netherlands and Belgium in Q1 2013 and will be rolled out quickly to other countries.

It is great to see that the computer figured out what is intended to be printed by just seeing a 2D picture. I hope this technology can be more widely available as soon as possible.

Very excited for this and related technologies to really start penetrating the public consciousness. As old economic and employment models become more and more irrelevant to modern conditions, I hope that we really start radically thinking about how we are going to allocation resources in the future. Perhaps by the next U.S. presidential election, such issues will have reached the discussion.
