How cool is this! As the printers get bigger so will the models i suppose.
I can imagine a lot of people wanting to use a service like this.


Miniature models of customers are being created by a company in Texas, U.S., using up to 80 cameras and a 'sandstone printing method'.
The pioneering technology is able to capture and then 'print' 3D figurine versions of people, and even animals, in unbelievably realistic detail.

After surrounding the subject in a dome of 60 to 80 DSLR cameras, they are then triggered to take a picture simultaneously, creating a complete 360 degree image.
Using a 'sandstone printing method' the printer lays down a fine layer of gypsum powder, also known as calcium sulphate, to which a binding agent and dye is added.
This process is then repeated thousands of times to construct the lifelike models.

Good to know they're using Zbrush for the modelling and detail.
