You too can use a 3D printer
If you have an urge to go print out a custom mug, golf ball, name plate, keychains or other interesting items, even though you don’t own a 3D printer, there’s probably one in your city, thanks to UPS who says they’re adding 100 more stores to their list of locations offering 3D printing.
The company has been testing 3D printing services at six locations, and after a successful pilot, they seek to serve small business customers, also noting that 3D printing have been used by “startups, inventors, artists and a wide range of professionals” to create prototypes of their designs.
“We are committed to offering small business owners, entrepreneurs and consumers high-tech solutions in order to assist with all of their business needs,” said Michelle Van Slyke, vice president of marketing and sales at The UPS Store.
Home printers vs. professional printers
UPS has teamed up with Stratasys, which is providing the uPrint SE Plus (aka “professional printers”) in stores, which the company says offers a much higher quality product than the 3D printers available for home use.
They claim to be the first retailer to offer 3D printing nationally, but Staples might beg to differ (#semantics).
Where are these 3D printers located?
Fully 24 states now feature these 3D printers, and not just the big ones you’d expect (hello, South Dakota!).
Below is the list of stores currently featuring these new 3D printers and there are more to come, according to UPS – is there one near you?
