Hi everyone, I’m Vince Mamo, the CSO of Replica Labs, and I’m really excited to share our vision with you here today. It’s been a real pleasure to be here at 3D Print Week. There are so many great companies and products out there, it’s been really fun to get to meet everyone. 3D printing is changing our world in more significant ways. In fact, I’m here with our market consultant, Natacha, who brought the world’s first 3D Printed Fashion Show. I’m glad I get to be a small part of this and share what we’ve been working on with you.

Over the last decade, smartphones have changed our world. These devices allow us to carry all our digital information with us wherever we go. Thanks to huge mobile app ecosystems we can do a million different things with our phones.
But still, smartphones are stuck only giving us 2D information.
Talk about the power of bringing
Enter Rendor, Replica’s 3D scanning system.
Rendor works by combining advanced computer vision technology with powerful NVIDIA GPUs in the cloud.
It all starts with a short video captured using our app. Our app both guides the user through the capture process and configures the camera for the best video recording.
The video is uploaded to the cloud and, within a few minutes, transformed into an accurate 3D model. Using the NVIDIA GRID GPUs available on AWS, we can do in minutes what similar services do in hours. Not only is the model available quickly, but it’s also a scale model, unlike photo-based services.
When the video is done processing, users are then able to view their models on the web, and if they like the result, purchase the model to use elsewhere.
Our 3D-reconstruction system runs on a range of NVIDIA GPUs from the low end 820M all the way through server GPUs like the GRID K2. We’re looking forward to the introduction of high performance mobile GPUs, such as the X1, to put the processing directly into consumer’s hands.
This was one of my favorite scans, and you can see it here.
What about body parts? Yes, Rendor can scan body parts.
Now some of you will ask, can I can my conch?
Yes you can scan your conch.
You can even get accurate measurements on your conch.
But can I scan something more complex?
Yes. This is one of our co-founders and Chief Marketing Officer, Brandon Minor.
At Replica, we’re really excited about bringing 3D scanning into apparel, starting with shoes. We have a dozen partner companies in the shoe industry who are excited about using our technology to scan consumer feet to help them find the right shoes.
Beyond shoes, we envision customized clothing becoming commonplace across the entire apparel industry: imagine custom wedding dresses, suits, pants, bras, hats, and gloves, ordered just as easily as a pair of shoes is today, and with even more confidence in the fit.
We’re working on our first two products right now, based on the same core technologies.
Rendor is Replica’s flagship 3D scanning app. It allows any user to build a scale 3D model with their current smartphone. It’s currently undergoing beta testing and will be rolling out to the public in the coming weeks.
Rendor Fit is Replica’s apparel focused product. We’re working with our partners to produce an app that will allow consumers to get the right shoe, the first time and every time. With product return rates over 30% for online shoe orders, we can save e-commerce shoe stores millions each year on returns. And shoes are just the beginning for Rendor Fit.
Shoes require millimeter scale accuracy for proper fitting. 3D printed shoes need to be better than that. What you see here is the compar. We printed out a 3-D model of a foot so we would know exactly what the dimensions should be. We then ran a scan from a Samsung device to test against the model. The blue regions indicate the areas of highest accuracy. We were able to obtain submillimeter level accuracy. In fact, the average error was only 54 microns! 0.9mm difference along width and 0.56mm along length.
With mobile 3D scanning, we can redefine interaction across a variety of industries. For instance,
Insurance claims can be handled remotely, without having to send inspectors just to get a good look at a crash site.
Artists, designers and curators can quickly record their work in 3D
We at Replica know that once this technology is available to the public, developers will find even more uses, just as with the iPhone and its App Store, allowing you to truly carry physical information with you everywhere.
PrimeSense, Project Tango, Kinect Fusion to name a few. These are all hardware examples. Peter Diamandis: BOLD exponential technologies -> digitize. That’s what we want to do.
