Forget selfies, you can now 3D print yourself

Did you ever wish to have lifelike full colour 3D printed twin of yourself or your loved ones? A London-based studio is making 3D figurines to produce a virtual model of a person.

The company was started by two Polish brothers who wanted to work for themselves and to put their various technological skills to good use and also create something new and innovative.

After many months experimenting they started to build their first photogrammic scanning rig, and after using 28 DSLR cameras they were able to capture shape and texture of an object but with no colour.

Therefore they developed programming that could turn 2D photos into 3D data but needed some way to print them.

They came across Cadventure Ltd and their 3D Systems ProJet printers. Cadventure believed in the concept and wanted to help them get off the ground and print their first prototypes.

The company has a ProJet 660 Printer, state of the art Photogrammic rig with 64 cameras and manages all stages of development and production in their Liverpool Street Studio.

Amazing. I remember my cousin telling me about this and i couldn't believe it. This is now getting more and more advanced.

A lot of effort & work is being put on 3D printing , but the required results are still to be achieved as printing speed of the printers are still an issue & need further improvement ..I've visited many expos around the globe & have observed that slowly slowly All tech firms are moving away from 3D printing to virtual reality ...
