First you would need a 3d scanner . I use a Kinect for windows and also a Structure sensor scanner for my ipad. Here is one of me that I made with the Kinect, it's just a head and shoulders shot tho.

The consumer scanning market is not to that level yet. The best you can do is take multiple photos of your head from all angles. They then have software than can map those images with your guidance over a 3D blank. You can then export it. The body is just generic and painted to suite your mood. The head, face, and hair would also have to be hand painted.

Hi everyone,
Have you seen this kind of dolls before? They are dolls of real people, and made by 3D printer!
In the past, we can make cartoon images of ourselves. Just take a photo and edit it with software such as Photoshop or others. It’s only a 2D model and easy to do.
However, a real-person doll is totally different from a photo, it’s very cute and exist in 3D world--the real world, so I can touch it, put it on my desk or other places, which can also be a good gift.
Now I only have a Geeetech 3D printer, it can print most 3D objects. But how to do a whole body scanning, get and edit my own 3D model, then print myself?
