If sticking drawings to a fridge won't do, parents of pint-sized Picassos can put their child's art on a pedestal by having it 3D printed through a new service called CrayonCreatures.
The service is the invention of Bernat Cuni, a Spanish designer working in Barcelona with a focus on emerging 3D printing applications. "The idea came one morning when my daughter asked me to make one of her drawings as a toy with my DIY 3D printer, and I did it," says Cuni. "She was totally satisfied with a monochrome plastic version of her drawing, but I wasn't. I felt that something was lost in the translation from drawing to thing. That was the colour, the scratches of crayon that make a child's drawing so unique and expressiveness were lost.
Cuni revised the process to add full-colour printouts, and in turn, launched CrayonCreatures to help others do the same. The system is simple: The drawings of a diminutive Degas are scanned, interpreted by an artist at CrayonCreatures, and a full-colour print is produced on a ZCorp 3D printer, then shipped to the designer. It's similar to Child's Own, the drawing-to-plushie service, but uses the actual drawn details from the original artwork in the prints.
