Speaking at the 3-day unveiling event
at Ikeja City mall, Lagos, 3D Makery Nigeria Chairman and Founder, Israel
Ovirih explained that the one of a kind destructive technology that will
outshine every other technology availing youths employment through self
dependence in Nigeria.
According to him, “3D technology is
opening up a whole new world of possibilities and the reward of 3D printing
technology is that the scan can be used to produce a full color figurine known
as a ‘Shapie.’ So, rather than a half cocked snapshot you can have a 3D
printed sculpture to either keep as your own or give as a gift”.
“The so-called “shapies” use 3D
printing technology and designed to bring joy and happiness each time a person
gazes upon the "Mini-Me".
“We’re thrilled bringing this advanced
3D tools and knowledgeable support team to help grow Nigeria’s technology
business. We have had success and satisfaction with this technology and,
upon experiencing the technology ourselves, knew it would be a benefit for
Nigerians. We are confident customers will embrace this technology. While it’s
still wonderful to have collections of photos, this 3D technology offers a new
way to revisit a memory with a 3D portrait.” He said.
On the mechanics of the 3D Technology,
the Chief Operating Officer, 3D Makery Nigeria, Damola Kolawole explained that
the booth where all this magic happens contains four wide-view, high-resolution
scanners that rotate around the person inside in order to capture them from all
angles. The level of detail that can be captured by these scanners is such that
it will even pick up things like a logo on a shirt or the jersey of
your favorite sports team.
“The hundreds of images that are
generated in this way are then automatically stitched together with special
software and a 3D model is generated from that composite. After the digital
model is created, the figurine can then be produced”. He concluded
The
event recorded massive turnout with notable faces in Nigeria entertainment
industry like former Mr. Nigeria Bryan Okwara, Sound Sultan, Ghanian Actress
Juliet Ibrahim and many more having their pictures taken.
