Description
Shrunk 3D is the world’s first and only fully mobile 3D scanning booth franchise, revolutionizing how people capture memories. In just seconds, customers can strike a pose, get scanned, and receive a hyper-realistic, full-color 3D-printed figurine of themselves. Using cutting-edge photogrammetry and 3D printing technology, Shrunk 3D turns a fleeting moment into a one-of-a-kind keepsake—creating 3” to 12” statues that are both digital and physical replicas.
Positioned at the forefront of the $15B 3D printing and scanning industry, Shrunk 3D offers a first-to-market, futuristic franchise opportunity. Franchisees benefit from a truly turnkey model: the franchisor handles all printing, shipping, and even builds the e-commerce platform. Plus, national partnerships and curated event leads allow franchise owners to focus on what matters most—creating memorable experiences and growing their business.
