It's still too soon.
That said, when it is time, Radio Shack can always move into that space too. However, what's more likely is that fab machines will come down in price quickly enough that people can have their own.
- rbanffy 17y agoLarger 3D printers are still a bit off. The mechanics get increasingly tricky when you move beyond a certain size. That said, modern ink-jets would be marvels of precision mechanics when I was in college. Things change in a decade or so.
- thunk 17y agoSooner than you may think [1]. And we all have printers in our home, but even now go to specialty shops for our more exotic or higher volume jobs. Why would it be any different with 3D printing? And since, in this vision, they'll also be stocking all the electronics prototyping hardware, they'll be a one-stop shop for the emergent DIY robotics scene. Radio Shack should absolutely be planning for this now if they have aspirations in this direction.
