The 3D printed figurine is just one of the applications of this technology. We are looking at launching quite a few channels in the next few months.

We believe My3DSelfie can leverage the market potential to not only steer the industry but provide the audience with the finest technology in the space. Harsha's vision and passion for tech can certainly create a mark in this space. We are glad to add this brand to our portfolio," added Shri PVSLN Murty, chairman, and managing director, NEDFi Ventures.
