Photographs are so 20th century.

3D printing is revolutionizing the way we create all types of objects — including mini versions of ourselves. German company DOOB 3D recently set up shop in NYC, where anyone can get a tiny figurine made of themselves. The company originally developed its technology to scan cancer and stroke victims to be fitted for prosthetics. Now it’s being used to produce 3D selfies.

The process is pretty painless. At the SoHo storefront, customers are ushered into a small booth that’s fitted with 54 DSLR cameras. DOOB processes the data from those images and sends the files over to its printing facility in Brooklyn, where printers are running around the clock. Color is built into the process, making the finished figures strikingly realistic.

“Unless you have a twin, it’s the first time you’ve ever seen yourself in 3D,” said Michael Anderson, CEO of DOOB 3D USA.

As people get more accustomed to the technology, Anderson says he expects poses to evolve. “You’re seeing more and more now, these really interesting different poses — where people are understanding that things are happening behind them and around them," he said. "Their poses are really capturing themselves in a 3D environment, as opposed to a 3D version of their 2D pose.”

Mashable editor Annie Colbert, who has long dreamt of getting an action figure of herself made, recently visited DOOB’s SoHo shop. Watch the video above to see how it was done.
