personal action figures conceived using a 3D printing photo booth

 

 

aiming to replace the ubiquitous photobooth, japanese omote 3D have conceived a limited edition pop-up
installation at the eye of gyre exhibition, that reproduces personal detailed miniature action figures.
ranging from 10 to 20 centimetres in height, the system utilizes a three-dimensional camera and printer
to process and scan users, creating custom scale reproductions. the three-step procedure requires
the user to keep still for 15 minutes while the scanners capture the data.

  • This story is curious and fun — but it also deserves more details, such as showing the final printed result of the couple that was scanned.

    Steve Raglin says:
  • Steve, hey show you a final printed version of the woman…both unpainted (the grey version) and painted, in the article. The printing comes out as a solid colored plastic, and then one can paint in any way you want.

    I cannot wait for this technology to become more mainstream here in the USA. desk top 3d printers are already here, but this ability to scan and print up humans is one I had not seen before. the idea of photo booths is fantastic.

    Mary Anne Enriquez says:
  • Imagine being able to put a scale figure of a client in an architectural model!
    However, Steve is right, it would be helpful to see a person with their 3D printed figure.

  • ThreeDee-You, the Madrid (Spain) based company, has been producing 3d sculpture of people since June 2010.

    State of the art technology at 2.5 scds scan (not 15 minutes) and around half the price…

  • We already are selling this type of Photobooths in the Benelux.
    It’s great fun.
    We even make chocolates out of it.

  • This is so cool :) . This would be a good weight loss tool I think. Print off a copy of my fat body so I can look at it whenever I’m craving junk lol

    Crystal says:
  • This would make a unique wedding cake topper.

    nhg says:
  • I like the idea of the photos using the figures…

    deano says:
  • i want one!!!!

    person says:
  • You all missed the craziest part…who painted the plaid dress on that mini-figure!?

    Michael Jenkins says:
  • Please come to the UK! I’ve an idea for a figure…
