Someone
sent a tip about this store to me few months ago and we also discussed this with
my urban art toy creators and we haven’t visited or inquired about the service
of 3D 2 Go, but I was fortunate few days ago that I stumbled the store when I
visited Robinsons Galeria for the Red Hot Sale event. The store is located at
the basement level of Robinsons Galeria, just below the Mercury Drug and front
of the entrance of the admin office of the mall.
I took some photos when
I saw the store and later on inquired about their service. I’m planning to 3D
print a custom figure for our trophy and their service will be very helpful for
us to mass produce the custom figure we need.
Here’s
the 3D 2 GO store in Robinsons Galeria,. a 3D print by demand
store.
The service for 3D printing ranges form PHP200 up to PHP1,000.
It depends on the size and shape of the 3D printed object.
I forgot to
ask how long is the process of 3D printing, maybe I’ll ask it later via email.
You can send in your design – in digital photo, or an actual object. They
will scan the actual object in 360 degrees and they will render this into a
complete 3D. For digital photo – of an object or a face of a person, they needed
the entire front, back, side view and top view photo. They can stitch those
photos into 3D and later on print it and repaint it with the desired colors you
want.
I inquired a small octupus figure with a size of a tomato, they say
that the printing cost will be around Php 800. For a 9-10 inches action figure
size, the price is at around PHP1,000. I inquired that I want to have an
accessory for my Transformers toy, they told me that they can scan a part of the
accessory and print it to match the size, the price is around Php 200. And color
is already included.
Wow!! I’m so excited to try this, but If ever I want
to create my own toy, I have to submit first an easy to mold design, so that I
can 3D print a master copy and later on mold it and then mass produce
it.
After tshirt printing… I can see that the future of customizing and
DIY is now going to 3D printing.
Take note that 3D printers are so
expensive, priced at around Php100k, depends on the size and speed of printing.
here are some sample 3D print objects that they produced.
Dinosaur
skull and Iron Man helmet ( I think it fits to Hot Toys figure)
Mecha
Design
War
Machine inaction figure or statue
3D
print your face and make your own wedding souvenir or cake topper.
I
think they 3D printed a copy of a face from those Tekken fighters hahha.
They
can print almost anything!!
Anyone here tried their service before?
