The studio, only seven square meters, is equipped with 82 cameras that can take 800 photos of a person from different angles in three seconds. Using AI modelling, the studio builds a realistic 3D model of the person and then prints the figurine out of photoresist.
According to Gu Li, who works in the studio, these figurines can typically be printed in heights of 9cm, 12cm, 15cm and 18cm, and the details are better presented in the larger ones. She said that the souvenirs that the members of the delegations received were the 18 cm version.
