Kolkata July 8 (IBNS): A 3D printed statuette of the 'Prince of Kolkata'-Sourav Ganguly-the first of its kind, was unveiled by the sporting legend himself at his residence in Kolkata on the occasion of his birthday.
“I am overwhelmed by the love and affection that my fans in general and those here in Kolkata in particular continue to shower on me,” said a visibly elated Sourav Ganguly. “I have seen such figurines abroad and am sure 3d statuettes will be embraced by all with equal enthusiasm.”
 
“What can be a better way of announcing to Kolkata and the world that 3d Printing has arrived than dedicating this unique creation to our Hero,” said  Rajiv Mehra and Ujjal Mitra, the spirit behind MiniMeee Studio, the entity that has imported the state of the art machines to provide the service of 3D Printing.
 
“3D printing has the potential to revolutionize the way we make almost everything. 3D SELFIES are figurines that are produced in full colour on state-of-the-art 3D Printers using A4 size paper,” Rajiv Mehra. “They are already a rage in the West and I am sure that the discerning people of Kolkata will not only warm up to this novel offering but also put it to newer use.”
 
MiniMeee Studio , the first of its kind 3D Printing Studio in India that provides and end-to end solution from 3D Colour Scanning to 3D Colour Printing of Selfies and other models, is a huge step in this direction. The traditional market for product design and visualisation can now not only see but also feel their creations as Photorealistic and High Definition Colour outputs in their hand. Thanks to MiniMeee we will see lot more Creative and Innovative outputs in future.
 
The MiniMeee figurines can be made to different sizes, materials, and can be framed on various stands, or given as trophies – the possibilities are endless.
