Hands-On With WolfPrint's 3D Printed Ultrasound

As we wind down our coverage for IFA 2015, we find ourselves firmly in the IFA uncanny valley. Like 3D printed fetus uncanny. We wrote about WolfPrint's unique service for expecting parents a while back, but it's another thing entirely to see it in person.

The German company works with ultrasound clinics to develop a 3D model of an unborn child and brings it out using a powder-based 3D Systems printer. The head-on bust is then framed alongside the ultrasound photo.

It's as weird as you're probably thinking. It's a bit rough from the 3D printing process. I know. They let me touch it.

I couldn't see myself partaking in the company's services, but hey, it's your couple hundred bucks.
