Japanese Pop-Up Store to Create Miniatures of Visitors #3dthursday

omote3d

Navigating through this site in Google Translate mode, it appears that this site will offer a reservation system to allow folks to buy 3D portraits of themselves and their families via this two month long pop-up store experience in the Gyre in Omotesandō, Tokyo. From a crude translation:

Using a 3D printer and 3D scanner,
it is the world’s first attempt to leave the family portrait in the form of a figure of 10’s.

By 10’s, they are referring to 10cm high figures — one of the standard art toy/miniature sizes popular in Japan. It looks like they offer 15cm and 20cm sized figures as well — pretty large printed portraits!

Check out their instructions (I apologize for my use of auto-translation!) for what will and won’t work for scanning:

  • Children under 6 years old, pet photography is not recommended.
  • We recommend that you take pictures in the pose without unreasonable.
  • Fine patterns and complex patterns can not be taken.
  • You can not take a picture of the material is shiny costume accessory.
  • I can not shoot with a mesh material materials and fluffy.
  • You can not take a picture material is thin and fine material.
  • Irregularities can not shoot heavy material.
  • Customers are wearing glasses, you will be disconnected shooting glasses.
  • Accessories such as bag, the picture can not be taken.

This is solid advice, typical for 3D scanning — but rendered into poetry via the dubious translation.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has thrilled us at Adafruit with its passion and dedication to making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed that our community integrating electronics projects into 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you take considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless EL Wire and LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects!

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you have a cool project you’ve made that joins the traditions of 3D printing and electronics, be sure to send it in to be featured here!


Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!

Join us every Wednesday night at 8pm ET for Ask an Engineer!
