Could a same day 3D print and delivery service protect brands?
Printer-friendly version
From the Institute for the Future, we get an artifact where the United States Postal Service offers 3D fabrication from "1000's of certified brands!" An interesting thought and believable as well as more and more companies partner with delivery services to get their packages to customers ASAP.
With Amazon supposedly researching drones to quicken delivery, could they also partner with USPS, FedEx, UPS or some yet to be created service to print and deliver the same day? Do you see a future of localized 3D printed retail or are we more likely to have print on demand in our own homes?
