Following in the footsteps of 3D-printed figurines and selfies, these 3D-printed family portraits take the evolving technology to new heights. When one thinks of the traditional family portrait, outdated clothes and awkward poses come to mind. While this concept may not be much different, it creates 3D-printed versions of your images and makes them last way longer than a print on paper.
These photo-inspired figurines are created by Californian company Twindom and are an unforgettable gift to parents, grandparents or siblings with an appreciation for technology.
Using a 3D scanner, Twindom scans an entire family with 360 degree censors. Once completed, the family's photo booth image is replicated in 3D form and boasts incredibly lifelike details of people's features, garb and facial expressions.
