Staples to Start Selling 3D Printer for Consumers



Staples, the world’s largest office products company and second largest e-commerce company, today became the first major U.S. retailer to announce the availability of 3D printers. The Cube® 3D Printer from 3D Systems, a leading global provider of 3D content-to-print solutions, is immediately available on Staples.com for $1299.99 and will be available in a limited number of Staples stores by the end of June.

Whoa.  If the price for the raw material is cheap enough or could fall to cheap enough within a decade, you just unleashed a massive shift in the economy.
