Printing Spare Parts

 Remember Kodak Man Roland Parts, the company that went into bankruptcy and sold off its patents as the digital age swept it aside? It’s baaaaack! Or rather, one of its reincarnations is back under a group called Kodak Alaris. Its new API is designed to help developers send digital photos out for printing to partners near the customer for great print services–the only service of its kind available around the globe.

 The impacts to business are potentially tremendous.  One can print personalized goods for your own style. Printing Spare Parts  can be printed on-demand and delivered to you within days.  They can also be printed at scale and replicated quickly by printing an entire batch.  These resources aren't limited to consumers alone.  Progressive companies like Nokia have made their STL 3D printing files available to the 3D printing community, encouraging them to print out their own cases.
