Friday, August 9, 2013 UPS Store first retailer to offer 3D printing serviceThe UPS Store has chosen Stratasys, a leading manufacturer of 3D printers and production systems, to provide 3D printing systems as part of a pilot program that will make The UPS Store the first national retailer in the U.S. to offer 3D printing service to entrepreneurs, architects, start-ups and other retail customers, according to a company statement. This service will enable UPS Store customers to have their 3D design 3D printed on-site. The Stratasys uPrint SE Plus 3D Printers will be installed in six test locations, starting in San Diego, according to Stratasys. "After doing a lot of research, we went with the Stratasys uPrint, because it has a small footprint and is easy to operate," said The UPS Store small business technology leader, Daniel Remba. While the program is aimed at small businesses, it is open to anyone interested in trying out on-site 3D printing services, the statement said. Following the launch of the test, retail customers will be able to bring a Computer Aided Design (CAD) file to participating UPS Store locations and have their 3D design printed on-site.
