Staples has announced a partnership with 3D Systems to provide 3-D printing services at two of its retail locations. Customers can bring their 3-D print-ready files to have them printed at Staples’ stores on 5th Avenue in Manhattan and Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. "We believe that literally millions of small businesses and customers could benefit from the technology," said Damien Leigh, senior vice president of business services for Staples. "We wanted to educate businesses so they can get involved with 3-D printing at a fraction of the cost because right now they don't understand it."
