Art: 3-D Print a Figurine of Yourself

A group of innovators called BlablabLAB have integrated a Kinect with a 3-D printer to print personalized statues.

BlablabLAB setup an interactive art installation on the streets of Barcelona, which allows users to stand in a structure surrounded by three Kinect sensors.

The sensors capture a 360-degree video of the person, then sends details to a low-resolution 3-D printer, which spits out a small thermoplastic figurine.

You can watch a video on the BlablabLAB project over at Vimeo.

Its a pretty cool low cost, high tech approach to personalized printing.
