3D Printing Photobooth

Shashinkan is Japanese for "photobooth," and Japanese creative agency PARTY has created the ultimate in Shashinkans with the Omote 3D. The project allows customers to buy models of themselves in three sizes: small (10cm high), medium (15cm), and large (20cm).

There are 3 steps:

First, they ask each customer to come to the store and have themselves scanned with a 3D scanner. They have to stay still for a maximum of 15 minutes during this process.

Second, a 3D model is created based on the scanned data. The details, such as hair color and clothing, are carefully modified.

Finally, from the finished 3D model a miniature figurine is printed using a 3D color printer.
