When you start planning your 3D photography business, one fundamental question you should ask yourself is where you want to operate and what customers you want to sell to. These seem like simple questions, but careful consideration is suggested when making this important decision. If you reach out to a broad audience, you may come off as tone deaf to your best customer’s needs. Narrow your scope too much and you may miss out on your ideal customer. The focus of this post is to provide information so you can make an informed decision when planning for your 3D scanning business.

Here at Twindom we are constantly looking for interesting new products to add to our full body 3D scanning solution. 3D holograms have been something we have wanted to release for years and after much testing, we have finally arrived at a very cool BETA product. 3D holograms are ready within minutes of a 3D scan being uploaded to the Twindom Cloud Platform and are a great way to showcase the magic of someone seeing themselves in 3D after they take a 3D capture.

In this post we'll explain how it works, discuss benefits of full-color resin over full-color sandstone and give you more details about the beta program.

In this post we’re going to do our best to breakdown all of the main factors you need to consider when setting up your business and setting retail prices to ensure profitability. Here is what we’ll go over:

Major changes are afoot in the color 3D printing market with multiple new technologies expected to become widely available this year.

During the holiday season, many retailers do a sizable chunk of their sales revenue. The same is true for 3D printed figurine businesses.

In the health and fitness vertical, AR and VR companies have primarily  focused on fitness applications so far. From a conservative business stance, this makes a lot of sense. We all know about the importance of regular physical activity, but historically training programs left much to be desired. They can be boring, inconvenient, time consuming, exclusive, and possibly even intimidating. Naturally, this gap in the fitness industry presented an opportunity for AR and VR companies.
