Upon arrival I was amazed by the Formlab Desktop 3D Printers and gallery of 3D Printed objects on display. The scanning process took no more than one minute where I stood still on a spinning circular apparatus which spun while what looked like a Xbox Kinect motion capture precisely scanned the details of my body. It was a fun and pleasantly surprising experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/EricHoscan.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Afterwards you enter your email address where Shapeways sends you a email of the file of your scan where you can order a mini 3D printed figurine of yourself in any of the 30+ materials currently available on Shapeways. I ordered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/model\/1550908\/eric-ho-wrl.html?li=user-profile&amp;materialId=6\" target=\"_blank\">my scan <\/a>in full colored sandstone and it arrived within a week of placing my order. The Out of Hand exhibition will run until April 2014. If you&#8217;re in the city I highly recommend dropping by MAD to have a hands on experience with 3D printing or get scanned like I did.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/model\/1550908\/eric-ho-wrl.html?li=user-profile&amp;materialId=6\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/ScreenShot2013-12-14at2.54.12PM.png\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;The actual print came out well but the facial details could have been better.&nbsp;An alternative to a 3D scan would be to try our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/tutorials\/shapeme\" target=\"_blank\">ShapeMe app<\/a> where you can easily make a model of your head and add it to a body. Next time I would try putting a 3D print of my head on the body of a <a href=\"http:\/\/shpws.me\/oq0f\" target=\"_blank\">ModiRaptor Dino.<\/a> The figurine makes for a great gift, paperweight, or just a instant conversation starter because you never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"hzDownscaled\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -10000px;\"><img id=\"hzDownscaled\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -10000px;\"><img id=\"hzDownscaled\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -10000px;\"><img id=\"hzDownscaled\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -10000px;\"><img id=\"hzDownscaled\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -10000px;\"><img id=\"hzDownscaled\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -10000px;\"><img id=\"hzDownscaled\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -10000px;\"><img id=\"hzDownscaled\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -10000px;\"><img id=\"hzDownscaled\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -10000px;\"><img id=\"hzDownscaled\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -10000px;\"><img id=\"hzDownscaled\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -10000px;\"><img id=\"hzDownscaled\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -10000px;\"><img id=\"hzDownscaled\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -10000px;\"><img id=\"hzDownscaled\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -10000px;\"><img id=\"hzDownscaled\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -10000px;\"><img id=\"hzDownscaled\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -10000px;\"><img id=\"hzDownscaled\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -10000px;\"><img id=\"hzDownscaled\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -10000px;\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shapeways has been doing full 3D body scans at the Out of Hand\/Hands On Interactive space at the Museum of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[528],"class_list":["post-2390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-54-3d-scan"],"thumbnail":false,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.9 (Yoast SEO v23.9) -
