Our 3D printing process has advanced the development of a smart phone (iOS /Android) application that now connects the mass market to our 3D printers delivering a world first end-to-end manufacturing process. Customers are scanned using our proprietary smart phone App. The mobile app captures and builds a 3D model of the customer from a series of 2D photos, which is then fed into our purpose built cloud processing software and subsequent 3D printing technology. A life size replica of the customer is printed out in just a few hours. After the printing process is complete, clothing manufacturers (e.g. a tailor) can craft a perfect fitting garment around that customers 3D printed torso.
The same time honoured multi-stage construction tailoring and garment construction processes can be applied around a customers 3D printed body without the customer even needing to visit us. Once the 3D printed replica has been utilised, the material from the print can be re-used for another customer, providing an eco-friendly approach. The torsos are biodegradable so can be buried in landfill or broken down naturally.
