(Essential Retail) — Lowe’s Innovation Labs has developed 3D-printing and scanning services for customers to use to design and create products for their homes. The project is a result of a partnership between the retail organization and Authentise, a company that provides secure distribution tools for 3D printing and helps companies roll out 3D printing via its Authentise Services division.
Lowe’s Innovation Labs launched the service recently in its Orchard Supply Hardware store in California and online at Osh.com, allowing customers to customize the color, shape, and material for products such as light switch plates, address plates, door handles, and cabinet knobs. Shoppers in the store can also scan certain items, such as out-of-production antique home accents, to create 3D models for printing.
