The Happiest Place On Earth is going Evil Empire for the NEXT FOUR WEEKENDS! And part of The Star Wars D-Tech Me experience this year includes this far out swag! It pays to have friends in the Galaxy, so thanks to Stephanie Pieruccini from InfoTrends for passing this along to me.
Disney jumps on 3-D printing bandwagon, offers to print 3-D Storm Trooper with your face
By: Trace Hagan
3-D printing has been making headlines the past few years and Disney is ready to jump on the bandwagon. They’ve announced that they will be hosting several Star Wars weekends at their Hollywood Studios. For $99.95 plus tax and shipping, you can have your face 3-D printed onto a Storm Trooper, just what any Star Wars fan would want.
The 10-minute experience uses the world’s highest-resolution, single-shot 3D face scanner created by our Imagineering scientists with Disney Research labs. That captured image is later sent to a high resolution 3D printer to create the figurine. The completed figurine will arrive within 7-8 weeks after the experience if shipping domestically (it takes a little longer if shipping internationally). Guests will also receive either a Carbon-Freeze Me light-up band or a collector button depending upon which option they choose. The Star Wars – D-Tech Me experience is $99.95, plus shipping and applicable sales tax.
The experience is available over several weekends: May 17-19, May 24-26, May 31-June 2, and June 7-9. Customers will also have the option of being frozen in Carbonite, an option that was provided last year during Disney’s Star Wars Weekends. For more information, check out Disney’s announcement.
