3D Print Service into mainstream retail business

[Guide] UPS Express Company online store to provide 3D printing services, customers will be their ideas to tell employees, and then print out. Tencent technology Ice Dust August 25 compiled according to the Atlantic Monthly Report, 3D Printing service is becoming mainstream retail business. 1 months ago, a United Parcel Service (UPS) store in eastern San Diego began offering a new service: 3D printing, the report said. "I don't know anything about 3D printing," said shopkeeper Burk Jones, 6 weeks ago. "I would like to owe this idea to myself because the business is really very successful." But it was the idea of the United Parcel Company. They want to test the market. "he added. Last week, the company installed 3D printers in a storefront in northwestern Columbia, Dist. Of, with at least 4 in the next few months, and the location has yet to be determined. Burke said that since the 3D printer came, he had begun an unusually difficult learning process. He needs to test the technology with the client. Customers have a wide range of requirements, including the basement craftsmen who test some of the ideas, and some big-business engineers, who need to print some prototypes as the company's equipment is occupied. ' It's a simple job, ' Mr. Jones said. "They called me and said that there was an STL file that needed to be printed three copies." "No problem at all. The 3D printer in the store Jones does not want to divulge other people's ideas, but he says customers want to print something "from pet feeders to High-tech gadgets for smartphones." "Some customers print car parts, such as plastic gadgets that unlock manual doors by pulling the action." He said: "A customer's old car broke down some parts, and he wanted to print out the bad parts." "Prices are not cheap – something as simple as ball bearings costs 15 of dollars and other things are more expensive," he said. But for companies that desperately need prototypes, the fees will certainly be within the project's budget. 3D printing is not the same as the traditional 2D printing process, Jones said. For example, someone wants to print a business card. When she came to print, she had a general idea about the design. The staff asks, "What color would you like?" What kind of paper? What about fonts? Then the first sample will be printed. If the effect is unsatisfactory, the staff will make further improvements. But for customers who print 3D entities, they will work with Newman Reimain, an engineer hired by Jones and Jones, and Newman-lehman. First write the idea on paper, then turn it into software, and eventually print it out. "I've been working in the printing industry for 15 years." The process is very similar at first, but when you press the Print button, things are completely different. "It's a process I enjoy, and it's a process of looking at a customer's experience of being creative and becoming real." Look at their faces, that kind of surprise is like saying they're not engineers. It was a magical moment. "Such a process from the idea to the real thing made Jones feel excited." "If I am willing to devote some time today, I will get myself or someone else'sA creative, at the end of the day, they have a hard plastic 3D prototype. "For Jones, the technique of 3D printing motivates him to think differently. "It can change our daily perceptions and change our lives." We don't know what else we can think of. It was in the process of this idea that my brain was more creative than it was 6 weeks ago. "Jones's favorite customer is two students, they are small, together making robotic hands." "They're funny, it's kind of like the people in the Big bang, and they don't understand the jokes they're telling." Jones went on: "They are really good and smart." I like them very much. Their great dream is different from mine. But Jones came with his machine to help these young people reach their dreams.
