				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For years, retail shops have operated portrait studios, where families or individuals can come get professional-looking photos taken at a reasonable price.</p>
<p>Well, UK-based <a href="http://www.asda.com/" target="_blank">Asda</a> is taking this concept to a new dimension. Asda has become the first supermarket in the UK to offer customers the ability to get a 3D printed miniature of themselves right in the store.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re trialling an exciting new service &#8212; offering you the chance to pick up a detailed 3D printed miniature version of you and your family while you&#8217;re doing your weekly shop!&#8221; said Asda in an <a href="http://your.asda.com/news-and-blogs/create-detailed-miniature-versions-of-you-and-your-family-with-3d-printing-at-asda" target="_blank">announcement</a>. &#8220;The technology produces highly realistic ‘mini me’ figurines at whatever scale you like!&#8221;</p>

<p>Starting this week, Asda is pioneering its 3D printing offering in its York store.</p>
<h3>How to get a 3D printed portrait at Asda</h3>
<p>Asda has setup a small studio in its store where a customer stands motionless and a store employee 3D scans the customer with a handheld scanner. From the scan a model is built and Asda then 3D prints the model in ceramic offsite.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4605" alt="Asda 3D Printing Scan and Model" src="http://djy4v7w60ym8o.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Asda-3D-Printing-Scan-and-Model.jpg" width="615" height="234" /></p>
<p>3D printed miniatures cost £40 and up, and can be printed in white, bronze, or full color.</p>
<p>Asda is inviting customers to scan anything, including people, pets and even cars. &#8220;Good luck scanning pets&#8230;&#8221; wrote one customer on an Asda forum. To get the scan, a subject does need to remain still for a few minutes which might make capturing pets and children a challenge.</p>
