Hasta La Gadget!

If you’ve ever wanted a way to make your XBox Live Avatar or your Mii into a real figure that can sit on your desk and keep you company while you work, reminding you of the fun you could be having at home on your console, 3D printing company Sculpteo wants to help. The service launched at the end of October and allows customers to provide 3D files via the Web for the company to carve into real world objects using its 3D printers and ship back to the customer.

Now, Sculpteo is offering customers the ability to upload a photo of themselves to the site, and based on that photo the company will build a personalized Sculpteo Avatar that the customer can tweak with custom clothing and accessories. When your avatar looks the way you want it to, Sculpteo will print a 3D figure based on the avatar and send it to you.

Sculpteo offers the new avatars in 7 cm (2.7 inch) and 10 cm (3.9 inch) models for $74.90 and $129.90 US respectively.
