3D-printed fetuses show what to expect when you're expecting
• http://www.gizmag.com, By Nick LavarsThe company uses 3D/4D ultrasounds and computer graphics to create an artistic representation of the fetus which is then 3D printed as figurines in one of three sizes: an eight-inch Lifesize 3D Baby, a four-inch Halfsize 3D Baby, and a two-inch Mini 3D Baby.
Once the size is settled, customers can select from light, medium or dark skin colors and then a body position based on whether or not they would like the genitals to be visible.
If something about holding a 3D-printed version of a 23 week old fetus in your hands just doesn't sit right, the company also offers models based on photos of your baby once it is born.
