The Brazilian company, Tecnologia Humana 3D, founded by Jorge Roberto Lopes dos Santos in its Feto 3D project is constructing physical replicas of a growing embryo based on 3D scan data. Originally the idea was conceived for diagnostic purposes with high risk pregnancies, which it still successfully fulfils, but has since been developed as a service offering for expectant parents, and has had notable success helping blind parents to feel their unborn baby and make that early connection.

Super sweet way to use 3D printing.
@Ashley_Reynolds_Crac I wish there was such a service when we had fetuses.
This is so awesome! Thank you so much for posting this.
@Ivan_Raszl I know this and the 3D sepia ultrasounds are very cool. When my children where fetuses the black & white, 2D ultrasound was all you got. And I still carried the printouts around and tried to point out the barely visible signs of life. LOL
There’s also this company that does it slightly differently:

@John_Grant that is really cool and so beautiful. The price tag is crazy.
