3D Printing Human Figurines

It is 3D printing – the unique method that allows creating miniature 3D copies of people in full color. For this purpose, there are special 3D printers that reproduce models in full color. These devices do not print with 3D plastic, but with a special gypsum-based powder that binds using a bonding agent.

Full-color 3D printers are used not only for creating 3D human figurines, but also in model making, prototyping, and other areas where a colored model of a product is needed. However, in this section, we will focus on creating miniature copies of real people. Below, we list all the features of this method.

Miniature Figurine on a 3D Printer

3D printers capable of producing full-color human copies fall into the category of semi-professional and professional 3D printing devices. This classification is due to the technology used in these devices and the materials applied. While melting 3D plastic filament does not require a complex design, reproducing items from gypsum powder is slightly more complicated.

This increases the size and cost of full-color gypsum 3D printers. The method of producing tiny figurines, however, does not differ from 3D printing on other 3D printers. To reproduce items, a 3D model is used, which is built based on photographs or 3D scanning data. After 3D modeling, the digital object is colored in software (if color data was not captured during scanning).

Full-Color 3D Human Copies

The 3D model can now be sent to print. The result is a fully finished, colored copy of a real person or animal. Here are the advantages of this approach:

  • Accuracy. 3D models are reproduced at various scales with high precision, and every detail corresponds to reality;
  • Speed. Ordering such a souvenir does not require waiting a whole month; 3D printing human figurines takes just a few hours, not including the time needed to create the 3D model;
  • Detail. Modern 3D printers provide incredible detail, so you don’t have to worry that the miniature copy will only be recognizable by clothing. Depending on the scale, the printer reproduces even the tiniest details;

No need for post-processing. This type of 3D printing practically does not require post-processing. The finished pieces are already colored and have a pleasant, slightly rough surface. They only need to be cleaned of excess powder and optionally coated with varnish to fix the color.

Uses for Miniature 3D Human Copies

There are many applications for this technology, and here are the main ones:

  • Souvenir products;
  • Unique gifts;
  • Fan surprises;
  • A way to capture a memorable event and much more.

Just imagine how unusual it is to hold a tiny copy of yourself or your beloved pet. A more original gift for a boss, colleague, friends, or newlyweds is hard to imagine. Thanks to their exclusivity and originality, full-color 3D human copies are gradually gaining popularity worldwide.

If this opportunity interests you, we are happy to inform you that miniature 3D human copies can be ordered through our company. We also perform 3D printing of figurines from regular plastic with possible subsequent post-processing and coloring. For any questions, call or write to the email listed in the “Contacts” section.
