Shapeways is offering a service for making a 3-D object from any photo.
Photoshaper is “a tool that anyone can use to take anything and turn it into a 3-D printed object,” the Netherlands based company says.
The software analyzes the contrast of a picture and creates a depth-layered 3-D object, which is output on a “Rapid Prototyping” 3-D printer.
“The result is similar to a frieze or a bas relief,” the company says, “made of a polycarbonate or acrylic-based photopolymer.” Objects cost $40.00 to $50.00.
