Is Fasotec, a company in Japan, partnered with Parkside Hiroo Ladies Clinic that can help you see the replica of the fetus. You do not need to be curious about your baby's face later. Even you can print the prints, you can feel the sensation of cradling a baby just before the baby is born.
How it Works 3 Dimensional Printer Technology
As reported in wired.co.uk, the 3D fetus service begins with a scan process. The prospective mother is scanned with an MRI machine. The scan will be made in 3d cad format for later printing. The printout is in the form of the entire maternal body area (uterine area) complete with the fetus inside. Printed with resin material in two different colors, transparent for mother and whiter to print the fetus's data.
This process you can do at 8-9 months of pregnancy, therefore the baby's position exactly as in the mother's womb with the head facing down.
The product is called the shape of angel size 90x60x40mm packed in a box. It costs around 100,000 yen ($ 1250). The scan with MRI is then discontinued with regard to the risks that can arise in the health of the fetus and the mother.
Fasotec then modifies its services by simply printing (print) the face of the fetus. For this time, data was obtained using ultrasound technology. Claimed more secure because there is no radiation using only sound waves. The cost is certainly cheaper than previous products.
Fasotec is actually engaged in a business sector related to medical purposes called bio-texture modeling. Technology commonly used by the medical world to review human organs before taking surgery. So, parts of the human body made replicas. In 2012 the company is innovating to provide a different yet fun service for women who are pregnant. This Fasotec idea has finally inspired other countries to develop the same services
3D Babies, a company from America, now offers a variety of models, sizes and prices. From $ 200 to $ 600 dollars.
Quoted from their site, 3D Babies even has a replica of Kim Kardashian (fetus) kid that you can order, if interested. Unlike the case with the South Korean company, 3D Story Corp., which offers 3D fetus service by developing software capable of automatically converting 3D ultrasound data to 3D models that are ready for printing.
This technology is not empty of pros and cons. For the pros, very happy because it can immediately remove the curiosity about the baby's face later. Providing a new experience during pregnancy and feeling a baby replica will be a good gift for the child when it grows up. For the cons, not a few who feel "horrified" or "disgusted" saw the print image of the fetus packed in the box as if an interesting gift. The idea of awarding a replica of a fetus to a child when an adult child is also perceived as a very bad idea.
News about similar services in Indonesia has not been heard yet, but for those of you who can not wait to try to visit the countries that have provided them: the United States, Japan or South Korea. Just prepare the funds and congratulate your baby.
