I scanned a grain of rice and made it 100 times its actual size!

[Mitarepo] Ultra-small 3D scan × large print! Scanned 5mm rice and printed it at 500mm!

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" We deliver useful information each time from the wide range of product genres handled by System Create. The theme of Vol.19 is "We 3D scanned a grain of rice and made it 100 times its actual size!" Mitarepo has tackled various projects so far, but Vol.19 is taking on a unique and unconventional theme! As mentioned above, we are 3D scanning a grain of rice, scaling it up, and then 3D printing it. This is the first time we are scanning and printing something so small, but it should definitely result in something impressive...! So this time, we scanned a grain of rice that is only 5mm in size. We enlarged the data to 100 times its height and attempted to print it. "How well can we scan ultra-small objects?" "Was the 100 times larger rice successfully completed?" Please pay attention to each step as you watch. *You can download the materials from the button below.
