In Prague, Czech Republic, a 3D scanner can produce a miniature sculpture of you with remarkable detail.
The largest in continental Europe, the device is designed to scan people, animals and objects, which are placed on a platform as 115 sensors take a 360 degree snapshot. The scanning process takes only five to 15 minutes, after which a computer creates and then 3D prints a figurine between 15 and 35cm tall of the scanned item.
The price of the device is six million Czech crowns ($284,208).
