If you’ve ever wished to own a statue of yourself, then Chinese Company Pinla3D has the the solution for you. Life-sized 3D printing now allows you to print out a life-sized twin.
The Pinla3D opened its 11th location on March 2 in Nanjing. The store offers visitors 3D body scanning and printing. Scanning only takes three to five minutes and you can choose the right size for your clone and even an outfit! You have to wait two weeks before your replica is ready to take home from the store.
The twins are made of ceramic-like material and are very fragile, but the company offers free maintenance.
These life sized, ‘Mini-mes’ aren’t cheap, costing $28,500 each. But if you’ve got the cash then why not indulge in the ultimate selfie and go get yourself a ceramic clone?
