BJD Pets 3D Printing

BJD Pets is a company that is creating 3D printed cats and dogs.




Aren't they just precious? Luckily there is no toy poodle (yet) or I would have to have one. So tempting. They do take orders for custom dolls.

From their FAQ page:
7. What's the difference between 3D print and resin?
Polyamide (3D print) and polyurethane (or resin) are two different materials. Printed cats are lighter but they have interesting texture to them. The gradients on polyurethane are airbrushed, while for 3D printing we use a combination of airbrushing and dyeing.
The velvety matte finish you can see on prints is a natural texture. We used to polish all prints, but now we don't, because once polished, it's impossible to apply dyes uniformly. And we like the texture too.)
Since we do dying on prints, colors penetrate the material and they don't wear off easily. The colors are pretty reliable. For polyurethane on the other hand we don't put any tinting on the joints.
Polyamide (3D print) is a very strong material. Very hard to break. And printed dolls hold a pose better because of the texture. Resin on the other hand is preferred by some of our customers, because it's smooth, slightly heavier and it feels nice.

Check out their website and Flickr for more FAQs and more pictures.

Are you familiar with the shop called Photojojo? I love this site. They offer the coolest and quite useful gadgets for iPhone, Adroid and DSLR users. They also have some unique alternative photography equipment. I find that they are reasonably priced as well.
Today I ordered the Olloclip 4-in-one iPhone Lens. It's a four-in-one lens system that fits over the corner of your iPhone. The fourth lens is a 15x Macro for the 5/5s.

There are so many products here that can be used to improve and enhance doll photography!
