Full likeness replicas
Personal wedding cake toppers
We can even scan props and objects
This is the scanning igloo.
Our in-house 3D printer that prints full color. (ZPrinter 650)
And that's us! QuikScann3D! (San Diego, CA)

This is absolutely terrifying.

Two questions for an asian dude here: 1) Does it work on nudes? 2) Can you selectively enlarge certain parts?
ninmonkey
Yes and yes. However scans have much more trash points, compared to traditional modelling, so it takes longer.
dereklarsen
All the people look like you just pulled them out of a teen sports themed GTA3 mod.
NotEvenRelevant
I find this... creepy.
dimoko
this is the creepiest thing ever

3D printers - a solution looking for a problem in most cases - especially home versions
Aramahn
You should get pre-set body scans of pop culture stuff (like stormtrooper armor) in different poses. Then add the clients head onto that!
iHaveToPoop
Wonka's been shrinking people down for decades, so... yea

Not far enough.

Not far enough, friend. Not far enough.

Ok I want that wedding cake topper when I get married. That's too awesome!

You can't fool me, that's a shrinking machine.

Yet another creepy thing for serial killers to collect of their victims. Photos are a thing of the past.
mmurrbles
This would be a hilarious episode of CSI hmm killed in the 3d printer scanning room. Oh look we can just print out a 3d image of the killer
idiotn00b
No offense but I think you've gotten that football slightly wrong.
JabigD
3d printing scares the shit out of me
allwaswell
What about personalized Academy Awards?
Spice00002
Just for curiosity, how much do these prints cost?
blackletum
$249 and up according to reddit OP.
AdrianAmato
If you have to ask how much money for one, you can't afford it.
ninmonkey
Maybe I'm just bad with math.
abiologist
+1 for "scanning igloo"

Is it cheaper to make Warhammer 40k Models this way?
jrharvii
I like the way you think!
avenlanzer
This is a fucking awesome idea
ninmonkey
I wanted to make them too, but, printers weren't cheap enough for me ;( But then again, warhammer isn't cheap enough
eronth
price?
ian9outof10
I imagine it's a lot

I want this. now. so. very. badly.
AsinusAdLyram
The wedding toppers alone are a GOLDEN business model.
Antipus405
^This. You have to advertise this to wedding companies and cake businesses. Provide free samples that can be displayed.
lizzieskwrl
As are the kid sport statuettes. Parents eat that shit up.
AsinusAdLyram
Oh yeah, that too, but that's a totally separate target group. Big change in marketing model.

MY FAVOURITE PART
kraftwahrheit
Agreed! If I had money I would definitely try to invest.
Dekker3D
3D printed stuff is generally not food-safe, and the powder and dye used in this probably has odd chemical properties too.
Dekker3D
The reason 3D printed stuff isn't food-safe is because of tiny holes in the surface where bacteria can hide.
AsinusAdLyram
So you place them on a base that is. There could even be options to make that base decorative. That's not an impediment to their use.
Dekker3D
Hadn't thought of that. I've been looking into printing food-safe stuff for different uses.
AsinusAdLyram
Food safe would of course be ideal, but I'm not familiar with most 3D printing media's MSDS info. IDK how good/bad existing stuff is.
Dekker3D
I mostly use FDM printers, using plastic filament. Most of it is unsuitable, but food-safe stuff should be available. Pores still problem.
khora
And print them in sugar.
AsinusAdLyram
Depends on the capabilities of the machine, I'd think, most extruders work with HIGH temps, which would burn sugar.

AsinusAdLyram
I stand corrected! Though I think this requires a specialized setup, not just any old 3D printer.

Wasn't there a post about 3D printed cereal like yesterday? If that is a thing this could be a thing too :)

The Wall Street Journal science writer predicted that 100 years from now we'll clone mini humans as talking dancing cake toppers.

PuppiesStartedEveryWar
That's an awesome idea!
MeSoMerry
That sounds like a golden idea for a quirky indie rom-com
TheThingNoNotThatOne
Or in 100 years cloning will become so normalized and trivial that it's no big deal to do that.
VelZeke

That's why you get the little memento at the end: to remember them by.

And now I'm thinking about House of Wax. That movie scared me :(

Only a matter of time before you're making sex toys for couples.

Or Ogries.

Frankly, I're love a naked posable action figure of my partner.
Knifemare
Wow, im very sure there is a market for that! Buy one of those machenes, and partner up with me. We will make millions

Am I allowed to come in and pose in the nude? I have cash in hand. Since I can't keep it anywhere else.

Reddit OP actually stated that a few people have asked, but they can't because of the venue's location.
MaiLola
Have you tried keeping it in your coin purse?
FaceOfBeaux
I don't know what you're talking about "where do you keep that". I've kept a compact laser deluxe... well you don't want to know!
TheLurkerWhoMustNotBeNamed
It's not the cash in hand that they are worried about, it's what you have in your OTHER hand that they might have a qualm over.
AceFreezy
now the computers are able to scan and replicate humans? do you want skynet? cause this is how we get skynet.

sounds like a perfect v-day gift for the bf... do let us know if you do neekid scans.

Can you keep a chubber going for 5 minutes?
blackletum
The scan takes seconds, they say.
HalloweenAintTillManana
Oh wow, you're right. I read it as 5 minutes. I'd totally get that done then. Show it to the ladies at a bar. See who's interested.
ifinallyhadtocomment
300 seconds...?
Apron
If you guys accept credit cards, I can keep it in my butt.
KNOWLEDGEisPowerwastaken
Only if it shows on the 3D model.

From Reddit:
ihavethepower
I would most certainly pay $550 for a 12" naked me.
b4kus
YET, thay can't offer that option YET : >
AsSubtleAsARabbitRapingACatMarkII
They shrink your whole body down, your penis will still be proportionally tiny.
OrangeFlavours
Yeah, but what happens to it after the 3D scan?
blackletum
That was mean :'(
justamagician
I think that if they didn't shrink it down, you could see it on the model.
Obnoxious
You mean "proportionally large"
goodguyC
Or you could say, "give me the Ron Jeremy package....literally!"
ALLOFTHEBACON
Short, greasy and hairy.

I'm actually curious to know this. I mean...it'd be kinda cool to have a lil' naked me.

3D scanners don't have resolution down to that level.

The future of sexting will be here as soon as we can get a 3D printer in our phones..

Maybe don't say little and naked in the same sentence
thatclimbingguy
I would pay for this
xenathewarriorprincesswashot
I´ll use that as a chatup line... "Hey baby, wanna see a lil´ naked me?"
JabbaJabbaBoomBoom
You could ask girls to come to your house, to see your lil' naked you.
InfinitusEquitas
Say hello to my little friend! Wait no, that came out wrong, I meant the 6" little friend. WAIT!!!! And I'm alone :(
HitlersWeiner
"it'd be kinda cool to have a lil' naked me" That's how you know technology has come too far
soukmania
As long as we can't have full size naked and horny living me... for scientific purpose... then science hasn't got too far. Trust me.
PeePeeFrictionPleasure
Hahah silly wolf15, there is no such thing as "come" too far. Just ask porn!
