More Information
Summary:The process involves rotating the person on a first rotatable support and scanning the rotating head with respect to both topography and color. The scanning output is digitized and fed to a computer with custom software. On a second rotatable support forming means driven by the computer are used to fashion a partly finished doll's head based on the topography input. The partly finished head is then transferred to a third rotatable support and as it rotates, ink jets also driven by the computer software colors the doll's head correspondingly.
