Tokyo Cafe Offers 3D Printing Alongside Coffee

In a city known for pushing boundaries, Tokyo’s FabCafe stands out—not just for its coffee, but for what else it lets you do with your cup in hand. While you sip, you can also scan your body and print a 3D model, or watch as your likeness is turned into edible sugar art. This isn’t your average café experience.

FabCafe Tokyo, open for just one year, serves regular coffee alongside high-tech extras: 3D printers and a 3D human scanner are available for customer use. For a fee, you can scan yourself and have a figurine made, including a version crafted from sugar that resembles you.

What Makes FabCafe Different

Most cafés serve drinks and maybe some pastries. FabCafe Tokyo goes further. In addition to its standard coffee menu, the café offers access to a 3D printer and a 3D body scanner. These tools let visitors create physical objects during their visit, blending technology with the café atmosphere.

The 3D Printing and Scanning Services

Customers can rent time with the 3D printer and scanner. One highlighted service uses the 3D human scanner to create a model of your body, which can then be turned into a custom sugar figure. The process lets you take home a personalized souvenir made right in the café.

How It Works

Step into FabCafe, order your coffee, and then choose to step into the 3D scanning booth. Once scanned, you can opt to have your likeness printed—either in standard materials or as a sugar figurine. The 3D printer is also available for other personal projects. The entire experience is designed to merge digital creation with the café environment.

Why Tokyo Is the Right Place for This

Tokyo has a well-established reputation for innovation and blending technology with everyday life. FabCafe fits right in, offering a space where coffee drinkers can also engage with cutting-edge tools without leaving the comfort of a café seat. The café represents a growing trend of multifunctional spaces in urban Japan.
