All it takes is a quick face scan and 3DMe creates a customized figurine of their choice, including licensed figurines from Ghostbusters, Star Trek, NBA and more. Users can watch their personalized character come to life in a fully animated virtual setting, directly purchase 3D printed figurines, and share them on social media.
