At the moment, in some regions, the 3d printing services are still very poorly implemented, but at the same time it is in great demand too, it’s an essential time for a startup.
Thanks to the American company ME3D, a new entertainment service has appeared in US shopping centers. Something like the iconic snapshot booth, but much more interesting. Oddly enough, immediately after the start of the idea, the service was in great demand, comparable only to the “Pokemon GO” application.

Today you will hardly surprise anyone with photography. Artists with easels in parks, painting your portrait with pastels or photo booths have always been an amateur. What about a sculptor? Who sculpts your sculpture, and even a colored one? True, the sculptor will not be a person, but a 3D printer, but is that so important?
The essence of the service, the author of which is the American company ME3D from Minnesota, is as follows. In a shopping center, you enter a special booth room and stand motionless for three seconds. The next 30 seconds allow you to relax and take a pose “at ease”. At this moment, the device will shoot you from … 60 angles (you can feel like a Hollywood star). The machine creates your 3D model and sends it to the 3D printing machine. The output is a reduced plaster figure with your full-length persona. It is noteworthy that the creation comes out in color. That is, the statue will be dressed in the same clothes that you were wearing at the time of the shooting.
Conclusion
You can put your statue in your own hallway, give it to your loved one, or save it for the family crypt – here the authors of the service do not limit the imagination of customers. Prices for sculptures range from $ 65 to $ 645. It all depends on the client’s desire: if a person wants to interfere somewhat with a copy of his appearance by means of virtual “plastic surgery”, he will not be denied.
