Early 3D Adopters: Who's Doing 3D Printing?

To service this customer base, Jones recognized that his store had to offer 3D design. He brought in a full-time 3D print manager, who is also a designer. "You can't print a file you don't have," Jones says. In addition to designing files from scratch, the 3D print manager also tweaks "almost printable" files brought in by amateurs using software like Google Sketchup before they are output in the shop.
