Mcor Technologies and Staples Division Launch 3D Printing Service
FRANKFURT, Germany, November 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Full colour and low cost make 3D printing accessible to everyone
In a giant step toward the reality of 3D printing for all, Mcor Technologies Ltd
[http://www.mcortechnologies.com ] has struck a deal with Staples Printing Systems
Division to launch a new 3D printing service called "Staples Easy 3D," online via the
Staples Office Centre [http://www.staples.nl ].

Staples' Easy 3D will offer consumers, product designers, architects, healthcare
professionals, educators, students and others low-cost, brilliantly coloured,
photo-realistic 3D printed products from Staples stores. Customers will simply upload
electronic files to the Staples Office Centre and pick up the models in their nearby
Staples stores, or have them shipped to their address. Staples will produce the models
with the Mcor IRIS [http://www.mcortechnologies.com/products/iris ], a 3D printer with the
highest colour capability in the industry and lowest operating cost of any
commercial-class 3D printer.
Mcor announced Staples Easy 3D today at Euromold 2012
[http://www.euromold.com/index.php?idQ&l=1 ] in Hall 11.0, Stand B109.
"Given our market leadership in commercial print, why would we ever stop at two
dimensions?" said President Wouter Van Dijk, president of the Staples Printing Systems
Division in Europe. "Customised parts, prototypes, art objects, architectural models,
medical models and 3D maps are items customers need today, in a more affordable and more
accessible manner. Mcor will help us to keep prices low, quality high and colour brilliant
as we meet the demand."
Although 3D printing is evolving on a similar path to 2D printing, there's no sign
that every home will have a 3D printer right away. "Until that time, consumers will look
to service bureaus," said Mcor Technologies co-founder and CEO Dr. Conor MacCormack.
"Staples is uniquely positioned to become the pre-eminent service bureau to the world, and
we will help them deliver highest quality and value. Staples Easy 3D is a breakthrough
service in innovation and access for consumers and businesses alike."
The online platform for Staples Easy 3D will initially be made available in the
Netherlands and Belgium in Q1 2013 and will be rolled out quickly to other countries,
according to Oscar Pakasi, director business development of Staples Printing Systems, who
is responsible for developing the concept and the design of the Staples Easy 3D print
service platform.
