3D printing + scanning: Cokreeate company makes mini portraits for celebrities
In March 2015 we reported on a CoKreeate 3D printing company that provides customized 3D scanning and printing services. Although the company offers a range of services, its most famous is the mini 3D printing celebrity portrait it offers. So far, Cokreeate has collaborated with a number of well-known names, including talk show host Larry King, comic legend Stan Lee and R&B singer Christina Milian. The 3D scanning and printing company from California produced for each of them. Own miniature portrait. At that time, Larry King wanted to make a 3D print program, so his production manager found Cokreeate to see if he could help 3D print a small statue of Larry King. Cokreeate was very happy to agree. “Larry King is very excited to see his little statue,†said company co-founder William Co.
The company met Marvel's co-founder Stan Lee through their mutual friend, wrestler and comic book writer Brimstone. “We met Brimstone when we first attended the Comikaze show, and we immediately became good friends,†recalls William. “Brimstone introduced us to Stan Lee's assistant, so we contacted the assistant and talked about the idea of ​​creating a miniature portrait of Stan Lee and offering it as a product to his fans. Now they are more than just us. Friends, or part of our Cokreeate family. Stan Lee is very gentle and friendly, he is always down to earth, very humble."
To provide star miniatures, 3D printed prototypes, and a variety of other objects, Cokreeate always likes to model with an Artec Eva 3D scanner. "We decided to use Eva because it is reasonably priced, has fine resolution, and is portable." William explained: "Because we need to go to the customer for 3D scanning often, this portability is very important."
Although the family-run company is very satisfied with its 3D scanning and printing, the process of 3D scanning a mannequin can be very troublesome. Since the models need to maintain their posture for 3-5 minutes, they need to set up a comfortable position to start scanning, and then post-process with Artec Studio software, which is printed by ZCorp's 3D printer .
It's not easy to let the models fix the pose for 3-5 minutes, and Eva's technology helps solve any jitter problems. “Eva provides outstanding features such as constraint alignment, which helps to adjust for some disproportionate scan results,†William explained.
“Look at one of the three portraits that @Cokreeate has done for me, it’s awesome.†Milian wrote on her Instagram page.
For the future, CoKreeate has a big plan. The company is currently developing an online 3D model library from which users can download downloadable 3D print models for free, in addition to the company's plans to print on bronze and gold materials. At the same time, they will work with Stan Lee and Christina Milian to design a range of 3D printing products and accessories.
