DGAP-News: Social Commerce Group SE / Key word(s): Miscellaneous Social Commerce Group SE: Scalability in the 3D printing business: Social Commerce Group SE (SCGSE) enters new sales territory with franchise concept for STARAMBA selfies 28.05.2015 / 15:00 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Scalability in the 3D printing business: Social Commerce Group SE (SCGSE) enters new sales territory with franchise concept for STARAMBA selfies Berlin, 28 May 2015 - STARAMBA GmbH, Berlin, an investment of Social Commerce Group SE, which is listed in the General Standard (ISIN: DE000A1K03W5), is breaking new ground in the sale of 3D selfies. After a successful pilot phase in Berlin of several months, the franchise sales system developed by Social Commerce Group SE is now being rolled out across the board. Despite enormous demand around the world, 3D selfies used to have a major disadvantage compared to two-dimensional selfies: they were too expensive. The miniatures of people or animals produced by 3D scanners and printers were not suitably scalable due to the high amount of professional labour required to process the 3D images. In contrast, 2D selfies are posted on social networks en masse and can be created by anybody at virtually no cost. Instead of printing selfies, the business model of the Berlin-based STARAMBA GmbH focuses on generating 3D data for celebrities. This offers the advantage that the labour required to process the images is only needed once and the files can then be printed and sold to the celebrities' fans any number of times without additional image processing costs. This business model has been successfully tested with prominent artists, artist groups and labels like Linkin Park, Arthur Abraham, Universal Music and Marvel Heroes. Social Commerce Group SE, a new company founded by around 20 prominent athletes including Fredi Bobic, Marko Rehmer and Oliver Neuville, supported the investments by placing its contact network at their disposal. However, the high production costs for printing 3D selfies - of non-celebrities, that is - remained. The INSTAGRAPH photogrammetry scanner developed by STARAMBA solves this problem. It reduces the image processing after the scan to a minimum, is reliable and affordable. There is high demand not only in the German-speaking region but also in Asia and America, as the STARAMBA INSTAGRAPH is easy to operate and very robust in mobile applications, and it delivers scans of singularly good quality. First sales have now been made in the USA, India and the United Arab Emirates.
