3D Printer Photo Booth Makes Figurines Instead of Photos

SO. Cool.

Tokyo’s stylish Harajuku district will soon be home to an unusual pop-up photo booth—customers will walk away not with photos, but with 3D printed figurines of themselves. The customer is first 3D scanned in a process that requires them to stand still for 15 minutes. A 3D model of the customer is then refined on a computer before output to a 3D printer. The figurines are available in sizes ranging from 4 to 8 inches.

    $5 for a mini-version of yourself isn't too big of a price to pay, is it? I wonder how 3D printing would work on landscapes, a 3D Grand Canyon, anyone?
