BEIJING<\/span>, Aug. 7, 2023<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — A report from People’s Daily: Chinese hurdling star Wu Yanni, who competed at the recent 31st FISU World University Games held in Chengdu<\/span>, southwest China’s<\/span> Sichuan<\/span> province, recently received a special birthday present – a 3D printed figurine of herself.<\/p>\n

The miniaturized model depicted Wu holding a Rongbao, the mascot of the Chengdu Universiade, in one hand and a torch in the other.<\/p>\n

“This is unbelievable,” Wu exclaimed upon seeing the vivid details like the strands of hair in her braids. She was amazed that the gift captured her likeness so intricately.<\/p>\n

Such an exquisite figurine is available to all members of the Chengdu Universiade delegations whose birthdays fall between July 22<\/span> and Aug 11 at a 3D photo studio in the Sci-tech Services Workstation of the Universiade Village.<\/p>\n

The studio, which covers only seven square meters, is equipped with 82 cameras that can take 800 photos of a person from different angles in three seconds. Through AI modeling, the studio builds a lifelike 3D model of the person and then prints the figurine with photosensitive resin.<\/p>\n

According to Gu Li<\/span>, who works at the studio, such figurines normally can be printed in heights of 9 cm, 12 cm, 15 cm and 18 cm, and the details are presented better on bigger ones. She said the souvenirs received by the members of delegations were the 18 cm version.<\/p>\n

“The 3D printing technology is very mature now. The figurines don’t fade easily and can be preserved for many years,” she told People’s Daily.<\/p>\n

Transforming 2D photos into 3D models, this ingenious technology infuses the souvenirs with warmth, creating treasured memories for participants from around the world.<\/p>\n

Many athletes showed their signature moves while taking photos. A Singaporean rhythmic gymnast did a needle split; a Polish athlete mimicked drawing a bow; an athlete flexed his muscles wearing a cute Rongbao hat to show a sharp contrast. Some posed in front of the cameras wearing swimsuits and medals.<\/p>\n

The diverse and lively figurines will be a unique memory of members of delegations around the world to the Chengdu Universiade.<\/p>\n

Gu said that a Brazilian coach had recently brought a group to have their figurines made. They visited the studio early for two days in a row, eager to receive their finished models.<\/p>\n

To meet demand, the normal 15-day production time was compressed to 4 days. So far, over 100 people from dozens of delegations have received their birthday gifts from the studio.<\/p>\n

It will effectively promote China’s<\/span> technology and culture when participants bring home the souvenirs with Chinese and Chengdu<\/span> characteristics, said He Xingcheng, business director of SW 3D, the company that runs the studio.<\/p>\n

Apart from the studio, there are many other tech products that bring convenience to the “villagers,” including a smart online interpretation system that supports 83 languages, a cooling vest that maintains a consistent temperature of 23 degrees Celcius, and a robotic barista that can make customized coffee in 90 seconds. The Chengdu Universiade just amazed the world with technologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
