She had an ultrasound several times, but it wasn't enough. Ivan, who was already interested in 3D printing, decided to give it to her just prints the child. First they printed with plastic, but today they can do it plaster models and pour them over with precious metals.
Yuliana Recu, one of the women who opted for this procedure, is in favor International Business Times said: "We ordered a 3D model of the child that is in my belly. It is a strange feeling, because the child is not yet born, but you can already touch it and feel it."
