Making Your Fantasy WoW Character Come to Life with FigurePrints
PSFK has been following the 3D printing trend for a while - and now there is a new service targeting World Of Warcraft gamers. It’s called FigurePrints and allows you to 3D-Print a plastic figurine of your personal WoW character. The prints cost $99.95 due to the complexity of production, a process that involves several meticulous steps:
“We use technology previously reserved for the manufacturing industry, called rapid prototyping machines, to convert three dimensional computer models into physical objects. The electronic version of your FigurePrint is cut up into more than a thousand very thin slices. The printer creates a slice at a time and the slices are stacked on top of each other to form the final three dimensional statue that we call a FigurePrint. We remove it from the machine, hand finish it, mount it in a glass display case and it’s ready to go.”
