Shapeways partnered with Vogue to send Karlie Kloss around the world, as a 3D print<\/a>, from a 3D scan by Direct Dimensions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The playful project to send Karlie Kloss around the world as a 3D print is another example of the fashion world recognizing the value of 3D printing, even if it is not to make a garment or an accessory. \u00a0With projects like the Dita Von Teese Gown<\/a> and the Victoria’s Secret Angel Wings<\/a>, we worked with designers to push the current 3D Printing materials to the absolute limits. \u00a0This project is a more lighthearted step in the direction of exploring how 3D scanning and 3D printing can be used to document a person, object or place, to then explore the form in 3 dimensions, to print as is, or to modify and\/or enhance.<\/p>\n

The american supermodel was 3D scanned in a number of classic outfits, and playful poses by Direct Dimensions’ 20 foot diameter booth with over 100 cameras firing simultaneously to capture the raw data to 3D print. \u00a03D technicians then painstakingly prepared the 3D point clouds so that Shapeways could 3D print the 6 inch high figurines in our Full Color Sandstone<\/a> material in our New York factory, you can see footage of the print process in the video below..<\/p>\n
