Personally tailored manicure? Intelligent wearable device by adding the chips? It totally sounds fictitious. But now 3D scanning and 3D printing can turn it into reality. Recently, one Japanese appliance giant crosses the industrial boundary to enter into the manicure industry via collaboration with SHINING 3D.

Convenient, alluring, firmly attached in place, most importantly it also makes feasible the identity authentication.

If the object has enough details, the EinScan-Pro will automatically align multiple scan meshes to form a perfect 3D model.”

For requirement of manicure service, the user may first pick up the adored pattern online and show to the manicurist, and then go to the nail salon to have your exclusively opted nail piece equipped. One member from the Commodity Arrangement Department of the appliance giant said, “This service offers attractive nails to women who have no time to visit the nail salon.”
