This new, easy to access use of [3D printing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bambu-lab-h2s) results in finely detailed, action-figure like mini-statue made to customer's exact likeness using a proprietary material that is gypsum-based and is transformed from powder to a solid model through a binding agent and precisely positioned color dye. The results are eerily accurate, with even the smallest details captured such as facial hair, wedding rings and small tattoos. Customers enter a booth surrounded by 120 SLR cameras, which are all synced to snap simultaneously. The booth is made up of moveable towers with at least 9 cameras each, designed to capture a 360 degree view. Any gaps are filled in by a digital 3D artist that using software to create any missing depth. After selecting their desired pose, a 3D image is rendered and sent to the printer. The printing process only takes 6 hours, after final finishing and curing your model is ready for pickup in a couple of days. The final product costs just under $120 CAD for a 5 inch model.
