How you become a 3D figure<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

You can’t just buy a 3D figure like this off the rack \u2013 it’s a unique miniature of yourself, your family, or your favorite person. From the initial idea and the 3D scan to the finished mini-version, a lot happens behind the scenes: high-tech, craftsmanship, and a keen eye for detail. <\/p>

On this page, we’ll show you step by step what to expect from us: how you can prepare, how the scan works, what happens on the computer afterward, and how your finished 3D figure is created from all of this. This way, you’ll know exactly what to expect \u2013 and you can simply look forward to the result. <\/p>

And if you’d like to get an even more accurate picture of what to expect from us: A click on the button will take you directly to SpiegelTV and a short, exciting report about figurenWERK!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The easiest way to get your 3D figure is to book an appointment directly online – for a consultation or directly for a scan! We’ll be happy to advise you briefly on how the process works and when we can scan you. This way, we avoid waiting times and you know exactly how much time you should plan for. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Before we start the 3D scan, you choose what kind of figure you want. You choose the size, material and \u2013 depending on the offer \u2013 the color and shape of your figure. On the website, you can find out about the different materials, prices and sizes in advance. In our 3D scan studio, we will be happy to explain the differences to you personally. This way, you’ll know exactly how big your figure will be and how it will feel. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The 3D Scan in the Studio or Mobile<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In the 3D scan studio in Berlin, our 3D scanner creates a snapshot of you \u2013 the scan itself only takes a fraction of a second. For mobile use, we use a hand-held 3D scanner, for which you have to stand as still as possible for a few minutes. During the scan, we capture both your geometry and the photographic data of your surface. The technology works with many individual images \u2013 so the method is photo-based and harmless to your health. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Scan Data Becomes a Virtual 3D Model<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAfter the scan, your data is further processed in the computer. A detailed, virtual 3D model of you is created from the point cloud and the photos. Where necessary, small errors are corrected, holes are closed and fine details are cleanly remodeled. In addition, the recorded textures \u2013 i.e. colors and surfaces \u2013 are placed exactly on your 3D model. The result is a digital mini-version of you, which forms the basis for the subsequent 3D printing. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

3D Printing Your Figure<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Once the virtual model is ready, the actual 3D printing starts. Depending on the material chosen, a suitable printing process is used; we present the most common methods in detail on the website. Layer by layer, the 3D printer builds up your figure \u2013 including all colors, folds in the fabric and fine details. Depending on the size and material, the printing process can take up to several days. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Handcraft: Post-processing & Finishing<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAfter printing, your figure is already fully assembled, but not yet ready for the big stage. Support structures are removed by hand, edges are smoothed and details are reworked. Depending on the material, colors are refreshed, small imperfections are corrected and the figure is sealed or coated. This manual part often takes several hours \u2013 but in the end you get a high-quality unique piece instead of a standard product. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Quality Check & Approval<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBefore your figure comes to you, we check it again very carefully. Is the pose as planned? Are the proportions and colors correct? Are there any areas that are sensitive and need special attention? Only when we are satisfied with everything will your figure be packaged. This is how we ensure that you hold a result in your hands that meets our and your expectations. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
