I believe my submission on this is hidden because of my recent registration here. I've lurked for a long time.

The press release[1] from Staples confirms ordering online is live now, and printers will be on shelves in select stores next month.

I would have thought FedEx/Kinko's would be the first to make a move on 3D technology, first as in in-store service, then stocking product.

There was also previous discussion[2] on 3D systems and their aggression toward other upstarts. Smart of them to be first into a major national retailer if they cannot compete in the 'enthusiast' space.
