Office Depot, a global provider of office supplies and printing services, today announced that as a result of positive consumer feedback, it is expanding the 3D Systems Cube 3D printing experience to 150 Office Depot stores nationwide.
Office Depot announced in August that it had added 3D Systems' Cube and CubeX to its online store, and it would also create a customer experience area at one of its Denver stores. Customers would be able to watch live demonstrations of 3D printing and buy Cube 3D printers in store. With 2D printing products a key sales area for Depot, the retailer has identified the importance of including the third dimension in its offering. "At Office Depot, we know seeing is believing", said George Hill, Office Depot's Senior Vice President of Copy and Print Depot.
"We received an overwhelming response from our initial pilot program in Denver," said Hill. "Customers ranging from tech buffs and entrepreneurs to marketers, educators and stay-at-home parents commented on how they would utilize 3D printing in their lives. With that insight, we knew we needed to expand the scope and offer these demonstrations to markets across the country."
The Cube 3D and CubeX 3D printers are available at Office Depot for $1,299 and $2,499, respectively.
