You know how parents try to keep as many memories of their toddlers as they can? I believe many of you can find your old baby shoes when visiting your family, some, like mine, might have them hanging on the wall. Those that are younger might even have their ultrasound photos of when they were still in their mommies belly.
Ultrasound photos while being great and all only come in black and white, and they're hard to see the whole beauty of it. And as usual tackling these obstacles technology steps in, and who-would-of-guessed - the Japanese!
Catering the demand to immortalize infancy, Japanese firm "Fasotec" and "Hiroo Ladies Clinic" offer to have a 3D printed model of your little bundle of joy in utero.
Being called Tenshi no Katachi or the "Shape of an Angel", the product is based on a digital model of the mother's torso obtained from CT or MRI scans and then 3D printed using a process called Bio-Texture, the same that "Fasotec" uses to create their medical models.
As is to be expected with any medical procedures the main model doesn't come cheap, your wallet will be around 1,200€ (10,000¥) lighter after you get it. But the good news are, once the main 3D model is done, the fetus keychains and cellphone dongles made using the same process will cost far less!
