Turn Yourself Into a 3D-Printed Star Wars Stormtrooper

Starwars3d

As part of its Star Wars Weekends event (running from May 17 to June 9), Disney is giving fans the chance to put their face on a 3D-printed Stormtrooper figurine.

The D-Tech Me experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios uses a high resolution single-shot 3D face scanner created by Disney Research labs.

The 10-minute experience captures an image of the fan, which is later sent to a high-resolution 3D printer to create a figurine. The completed figurine will arrive in seven to eight weeks for domestic shipping.

Disney is also resurrecting a popular “cast yourself in Carbonite” option inspired by a scene from The Empire Strikes Back. Fans will receive either a Carbon-Freeze Me light-up band or a collector button depending on which option they choose.

The Star Wars D-Tech Me experience is $99.95, plus shipping and applicable sales tax.
