3D printed doll of yourself
FAQ | Shapify
General
1. Why Artec Shapify Booth?
Artec Shapify Booth features a fully automated process for creating 3D files. Use it to set up an innovative, lucrative and scalable business.
2. What is special about your software?
It’s the only software on the market that can process full body 3D scans automatically and quickly. Just compare the Shapify’s 15 minutes of automated cloud computing to create a 3D printable file with at least 2 hours of highly skilled work spent by a 3D modeller on every file made using photogrammetry or any other scanning solution.
3. I’ve heard of photogrammetry scanning solutions, but how does Shapify Booth work?
Unlike photogrammetry the Shapify Booth uses real 3D scanners. This is what has allowed us to create software which automatically creates printable 3D files.
4. What do I need to do to operate the Booth?
I. Front office
1. Meet the customer, check he or she is wearing appropriate clothes for scanning, recommend removing shiny clothes, jewelry, black shoes and glasses. Explain the process and ask the customer to hold still for 12 seconds while being scanned. Type the customer's name (or e-mail) into the system.
2. The customer stands in the booth. You click on the "Start" button and make sure the customer doesn't move during scanning.
3. After scanning, wait with the customer until the preview picture is ready. (About 5 minutes). Meanwhile discuss delivery options with the customer.
4. Make sure the preview is good and that the customer likes it.
5. Store the customer's name (e-mail), chosen delivery address, size of figurine and number. (This can also be done during step 3)
6. Charge the customer.
7. The printable 3D file will be available to order or download on your Shapify.me online account within 15 minutes.
II. Back office, via the booth operator’s online account at www.shapify.me
1. Log in to your personal account at Shapify.
me. If you want to print the figurine yourself, just select the model and press the “download” button.
2. If you want to order printing with Artec, please make sure your printing account has enough credit.
2. Go to Gallery, select the required model(s), enter the delivery address, number and size of figurine(s).
3. Click on the "order" button.
Please see the video for a visual explanation
5. If I install a Shapify Booth, will it carry your brand or mine?
The branding on the booth itself cannot be modified apart from in exceptional circumstances. However, if you decide to use an exterior pod or structure for the booth, you can create your own design or use the Shapify design. In both cases, the design should be harmonized with us for technical and marketing purposes.
6. Is the Shapify Booth portable?
Yes. Shapify Booth it is the most portable and easy to deploy automated 3D scanning solution on the market.
However, the booth should be assembled and calibrated by an authorized maintenance partner; this is about 4-5 hours’ work for a two man job.
7. So there are 3000 3D model files included in the Optimal business model. But what if I just need to re-scan a customer?
We don’t count scans, we count the processed 3D files you choose to print or download. You can scan your customer as many times as necessary, this will be free of charge.
8. What’s in the box? What is included in the price of the booth?
– Hardware, delivered to your address
The whole scanning system - the scanning with 4 hi-res rotating scanners, lighting, and the computer to manage the process.
The first installation by our certified Maintenance Partner
- Software
There are 3 levels of software:
1. The software installed on the Booth PC for managing scanning and modelling a quick (1 min) preview so your customer can decide whether to accept the quality of the scan
2.
Cloud software to process your hi-res model (3-5 min) and upload it to your personal account on the Shapify.Me web site.
3. The Shapify website software and interface to help you to store and manage your scans, download your files, order prints, check your scanning and printing accounts and schedules (within certain business-models)
- Warranty
1 year full warranty
With the “Optimal” business model you will also get 3000 automatically processed 3D files.
9. If I use the “optimal” model, how will I know how many files I have “spent” and what will happen afterwards?
You will have a special counter on your personal account at Shapify.me. You will always know how many files you still have left. When you have used them all, you will be able to top up your account on the website by paying $20 per extra scan.
10. Does the booth have to be connected to the internet? Can’t the file be created locally, on the booth computer?
Yes, the booth has to be connected to the internet since all the calculations are done in the cloud.
11. My client’s data will be transferred to the cloud. Is that safe?
A lot of information, from the photos on your iphone to your credit card details, is sent to and processed in the cloud. All data on the Shapify website and in the Shapify cloud is encrypted and safe.
12. Can Shapify Booth scan a couple or 3 persons together?
Yes, it can. Just remember that the more people are scanned together, the more difficult a job it is for the software, since everyone makes some slight movements even if they trying to keep totally still, and if there are several people in the booth, the volume of movements will be higher. So achieving a perfect scan of multiple people will be a little more difficult - although we have plenty of success stories!
13. What is the approximate processing time for one full body scan?
You (and your customer) will see the finished preview in about 5 minutes. Based on that, the customer can decide whether they like the scan and wish to purchase the printed 3D shapie.
The hi-res fully processed file should be available in about 15 minutes on your personal account on the Shapify.me website
14. What scanners are used inside the booth?
This is the Artec L2, an enhanced version of Artec Eva, but with a wider view field and longer working distance.
15. Will we get trained to use the software and the hardware
Of course!
16. What are the installation requirements?
You’ll need a space of at least 3.3m x 3.3m, ceiling height at least 2.8 m. For electricity you should have 220V and 2500W. We recommend a fast Internet connection of 8-10M. Don’t forget you should also have a Windows laptop or a desktop to run the Shapify software. It doesn’t need to be powerful, though, all the heavy work is done in the cloud and on the Booth PC.
17. Where I can see the Booth in action?
Take a look at our map here and also keep an eye on our news.
18. Are the prices on your website in USD?
Printing
1.
The Shapify Booth creates a ready-to-print 3D file. How do I turn it into a 3D printed figurine?
There are 2 options:
1. You can find your own local printing partner.
2. You own a 3D printer yourself and print the figurines on your own premises.
2. Can I order 3D prints directly from Artec 3D?
Artec 3D doesn’t offer 3D printing services.
3. What 3D file format do you support?
Our files are in .obj format (plus texture in .png) which can be easily transformed into any 3D format you need (like .ply or .stl) with free software (e.g. Meshlab).
4. What material can the figurines be printed in?
Once you have downloaded the file, you can print it out using any material you like – gypsum-based polymer, metal, plastic or even chocolate.

Travelling alone means you end up with lots of beautiful shots of scenery and places, but no pictures of yourself.
Unless you particularly like the ‘selfie’. Instead I opted for creating my very own mini-you with iMakr, which I have taken everywhere with me. Each day I will compose a shot with my mini-Rachel wherever I am and upload it to my website WhereIsRachelToday.com. It’s a great way of making sure I’m in all the pictures, while also recording my journey.
Mini-Rachel creates lots of attention when I take her out – it’s a great way to start a conversation with the locals. They all want their picture taken with her.

3D printing is a pretty amazing invention and Clerkenwell-based 3D specialists iMakr are leading the way by creating impressive ‘Mini You‘ bust or full body models in sandstone.

Nice nice experience! Mini factory is a cozy place and I’m looking forward to seeing my mini-me! Cristiana Buzzelli
I am clearly recognisable and think everyone has done a great job Sam Rimmer
I have received the mini me. Many thanks for delivering such a quality product. It has received many comments thus far and I have passed along your info.

iMakr’s mini-you service is just the tip of the iceberg for what’s possible. iMakr on Clerkenwell Road has just celebrated its first birthday, and prides itself on catering to all comers, from 3D printing pros to interested newbies. It’s done a roaring trade in 3D miniatures, estimating that they’ve scanned and printed over a thousand people to date. www.Londonist.com
Good service-magnificient. 48 cameras!! good coffee, had fun doing this! must try. I can’t wait to see the result next week! #excited!! Barbara Pels
Tim Dowling has written the ultimate guide to being a perfect husband. So what happened when we decided to turn him into a real model? He explains how he met his mini-me with the help of 3D printers iMakr.

Pedro is a dedicated fastidious professional who settles for nothing but the best with regard to his clients. He understands completely that he’s handling people’s memories and he takes this seriously. It’s refreshing to see such professionalism and dedication in small business in the 21st century.
As long as Pedro remains in charge of the team at Mini-you I have no hesitation in recommending this business unequivocally. You are in good hands with Pedro at the helm.

The statuette that we ordered was much better than we could have hoped for. It was truly a mini me of the person for whom we bought it.

iMakr were great from start to finish, they are a very professional and friendly company. Pedro in particular was a delight to work with, he talked me through all of the steps in the 3D printing process and ensured that I was kept updated every step of the way.

Needed a body scan to be made for a 3D project I was working on. Scan process went smoothly and was sent a very good quality result. Pedro cleaned up and prepared the file very professionally and when downloaded I was able to utilise it straight into my digital workflow. Would recommend.

Pedro did a fantastic job all along and sent us lots of pictures during the design process to ensure we were happy with the shape, texture and colours. The 3D sculpture really looks like our late Mischa…

Excellent customer service and attention to detail.
Pedro worked with us tirelessly to get the 3D model just right. We visited store to work directly with him and also worked over video conference calls to finalise details. Pedro has an excellent eye for anatomy and detail, we can’t thank you enough. Very highly recommended

9000 Article from the Wanhao3DPRINTER site. com translated for you by Top 3D Shop.CAD House made a 3D printed life size doll with fully articulated joints
As 3D modeling software and 3D printers became more accessible and easier to use, many people became fascinated with creating objects with articulated joints, such as - dolls with arms, legs, torso and neck that bend and turn in all joints.
Spanish artist Sonia Verdu has created some beautiful 3D printed dolls. nine0003
Verdu shared photos of her dolls and their free 3D models on MakerBot Thingiverse. She invites everyone to develop their own doll based on her design.
The South African company CAD House took this idea and printed a model of approximately 1.7 meters, fully movable in all joints.
The company decided to make Robotics as big as possible with existing 3D printers, without having to print parts piece by piece and then glue them together. The robotics model has been increased by 5 times. It was printed with PLA plastic on Wanhao FDM printers. nine0003
It took 240 hours of printing to make the doll. All parts were printed in golden PLA on Wanhao Duplicator 5S and 5S mini 3D printers.
Specifications Wanhao Duplicator 5S (D5S)
