Toronto’s 3D-printed jewelry company Hot Pop Factory received a client request to come up with a fun 3D-printed holiday gift for each of their employees, and I think their idea knocked it out of the ballpark: 3D scanned and printed Pez dispenser head toppers!

They scanned the each employee’s head using an Xbox Kinect, ReconstructMe software, and “some open-source hackery.” After cleaning up the scans and adding the candy dispenser connection, they printed all 32 heads out on what looks to be a MakerBot Replicator 3D printer.

[Thanks, Gus!]
