China's first 3D printing museum was opened at the Beijing DRC Industrial Design and Creative Industry Base on Jan. 15th, 2013, giving visitors a chance to experience this amazing 3D technology, according to Beijing Evening News.
In a bid to gain some full-on experience, visitors can have their entire body scanned by a shoebox-sized 3D scanner. The multi-dimensional data will then be stored and processed by computer. Several hours later, they will receive a 3D life-like mini sculpture of themselves.
Apart from human figurines, the museum can also print out other items, including cans, rings, vases, shoes, dolls and iPhone holders.
The price for one 15cm-tall human figurine currently stands at several hundred yuan. [File Photos]
