Asda will become the
first supermarket in the country to offer in-store 3D printing in its stores
and it begins trials on October 15.
The supermarket chain
said it will be offering the 3d printing service, which can scan anything up to
the size of a car and reduce it down to an 8-inch model. The 3d printing service
will first be tested at its York store, before being rolled it out more widely
if it’s successful.
With prices ranging from £40,
shoppers simply need to pop into the store with whatever they want scanned and
can then pick up their item as they are doing their shopping the following week,
Asda says.
The company envisage one
of their top requests will be for customers to have themselves scanned to
produce a 8 inch replica. Whether people would want to spend £40 on a ‘mini me’
remains to be seen, but it would be an original sculpture.
