Or use a 3D printing service like http://cloudfab.com/ if you just like making the 3D .stl files.
Considering Kinko's isn't around anymore, that may not be the best brand name to aspire to. But I guess if they get bought for $2.4b that's not the worst thing that can happen :)
Don't miss the video of the printed fabrics---Pretty awesome stuff. Apparently, one designer is creating a bikini made out of it
Add a 3d scanner for personal sizing, and you could have a very nice custom "clothing" store...with a two week delivery delay.
