Say cheese! Fresh technology is replacing old-style family portraits—say hello to the statue selfie. Just step into a photo booth, snap an image, and have an action figure of yourself delivered within days.
Advances in 3-D printing are bringing technology out of the lab and into local stores and museums.
The self-figures are full color and made of a substance called “sandstone.” Really, it is a powder glued together by ink.
The 3-D technology can also be used for other materials. One candy maker offered chocolate selfie statues for the holidays. Eating chocolate bunnies is one thing—but munching yourself?
