Get Ready to Clone Yourself with a 3D-Printed Figure!

Photography might soon be less desirable when it comes to record a moment in time as you are now able to create a photo-realistic 3 D printed replica of yourself and family. Dusseldorf-based Doob-3D successfully integrated 3D imaging, software, modelling and printing to produce 3D-printed clones. You only need to walk into the 3D scanner which is an octagon-shaped booth with 54 digital cameras and it will capture from head to toes to produce a 360-degree image in a flash. The printing process takes about 18 hours and you can expect the final physical product similar as sculpture in Madame Tussauds. (TI01/FN/02/Feb/2020)
