In pictures: Crazy 3D printed models

We take a look at 3D printing and how far it has come in recent years.

EA and ZCorporation

Though Yoshii offers a number of characters for buyers to choose from, they still aren't wholly unique. EA changed this when it teamed up with 3D printer manufacturer ZCorporation to offer 3D sculptures of user-created creatures from the computer game SPORE. At Spore Sculptor, you can get that weird approximation of a dinosaur-dolphin mashup printed into a 3D sculpture for $US50, with colour and everything. The idea is simple and financially feasible for the company thanks to lowering costs of materials and the printers themselves, and allows you to see your own computer creation come to life.
