Doob Specializes in Creating Hyper-Realistic 3D Replicas of You

— May 11, 2018 — Tech
Doob is a full-service 3D technology company founded in Dusseldorf, Germany, with US headquarters in New York City.

The company has been expanding its services since it started, with its initial consumer offering being doobs, which are 3D-Printed Replicas of you. To create the figurines, Doob operates retail stores and utilizes mobile installations that can easily be set up at off-site events, with a client’s branding. Doob’s staff run the installations, while greeting, assisting, and educating guests on the innovative technology. Once consumers have their 3D images scanned and the size of their figurines chosen, the company can ship them their 3D selves in just two to three weeks’ time. This makes for a versatile and immersive experience for guests, who leave with unique memorabilia that they’re sure to cherish for years.

The doob figurines are available in five different sizes: the 4-inch Buddy, 6-inch Bestie, 8-inch Doobie, 10-inch Boss, and 14-inch Diva. The smallest figurine is just $95, while the largest runs for $695. To suit different consumer needs and preferences, Doob can 3D-print individuals, small groups of people, and even pets.
