3D printed daughter portrait brings comfort to the Japanese father who lost her daughter

In Osaka, Japan, a father’s deep mourning for his daughter has spawned a new industry: 3D printed figurines for the deceased relatives. This is the business of a 3D printing company from Osaka, whose models have proven to be very popular and are helping some families recover from bereavement.

Pictured above, a young, lively girl with a plaster portrait, she smiles, arms out, sneakers, carrying a satchel - this is made at the request of a grief father, he is about two I lost my daughter in a car accident years ago.

This gypsum portrait is quite realistic, and the girl looks like it’s always coming out of the photo. "I never thought that it would bring us so much comfort." The father in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, said with his daughter's statue at home. "This portrait makes me feel more like a photo than a photo, so I often talk to her for a while."

In January 2014, his 11-year-old daughter Miku was hit by a car driven by a drug addict on the way home from school, and died shortly after being taken to the hospital. This misfortune brought permanent sorrow to her family.

Her father came up with the idea of ​​creating a portrait for his daughter when he visited the sale of 3D printed items about two years ago, when the technology was just beginning to be noticed by the public. At the time, he was told that he could print a copy of his pet 3D in just four photos, but when he came to various 3D print shops with his daughter's photo, they were reluctant to make a portrait of his daughter, and It is said that 3D printers cannot express human emotions and expressions completely. The clerk told him that to express facial expressions, the image files used would need to include faces taken from various angles.

The only one who accepted his request was Roice Entertainment, based in Osaka, which is mainly engaged in 3D printing, including making portraits based on photos and sketches.

"I don't think it's possible, but we accepted the order because we think it's important." Koichi Furusho, the company's president, is 40 years old and obviously understands the same middle-aged father.

It took Roice Entertainment about four months to make a statue for Miku, and the production team imagined an image of her left, right and rear angles based on the photos she had. According to the feedback from the girl's father, Furuso made dozens of unremarkable corrections to the portrait. Finally, in February 2015, about a year after the accident, the production team completed the work. Although it was very hard, Furuso felt very worthwhile to see the girl's father's heartfelt joy.

“The cost is really high, but we are willing to accept orders from anyone who needs our services,” Furusho said. He has been working hard to develop his employees' 3D portrait modeling capabilities. Now they have been able to create a 20 cm tall portrait in two months - the price is 108,000 yen.

About a year ago, the company began to print portraits for dead people through its official website, and so far they have received about 50 orders, most of them from parents who lost their children.

"We didn't expect 3D printing to bring people this kind of help. We want to keep it going."
