Wal-Mart Stores Inc. Chief Executive Officer Doug McMillon said the world’s largest retailer may use 3-D printers for producing supplies and might even make an acquisition in the market.

“Three-D printing is interesting to me,” McMillon said today at the Code Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. “We can use 3-D printing over time for replacement parts.”
