Star Trek 3DMe lets users create a full-color, personalized 3D printed figurine of themselves in a Star Trek uniform from the original series by simply uploading two photographs of their face.  Users can personalize their figurines with a variety of options such as authentic Star Trek ranks from ensign through captain, uniform colors, and poses including the famous “live long and prosper” Vulcan gesture complete with Vulcan ears. The unique 5.5” figurines are 3D printed in full-color on 3D Systems’ Projet 660Pro 3D printer, with a ceramic-like feel. Star Trek 3DMe figurines retail for $69.99 each and are available on Cubify.com.
