System and method for producing wildlife reproductions and game fish replicas

A method of fabricating replicas of wildlife reproductions, comprising:

• structuring a scanning device to optically acquire digital images of wildlife subjects, the digital images of each wildlife subject being saved to a library of digital image files within a computer database, wherein each digital image of the wildlife subject is assigned a principal dimension from which all other dimensions of the wildlife subject are based;
• structuring a processor to include program code for:
• (i) accessing the library of digital image files within the computer database (ii) responding to an input command signal selecting a three-dimensional digital image file of a selected wildlife subject;
• and (iii) issuing command signals to a three-dimensional printer to print the three-dimensional digital image file of the selected wildlife subject;
• structuring one or more reference device to be positioned proximate to the wildlife subject;
• structuring the three-dimensional printer to receive command signals from the processor to produce three-dimensional reproductions of wildlife subjects;
• and
• configuring the program code of the processor to:
• (i) determine a value of a principal dimension of a captured wildlife subject using the one or more reference device;
• (ii) compare the value of the principal dimension of the captured wildlife subject with the principal dimension of the selected three-dimensional digital image file to determine a dimensional adjustment of the principal dimension from which dimensional adjustments to at least one other dimension of the selected wildlife subject is calculated;
• (iii) transform the digital image file to an adjusted three-dimensional digital image file corresponding to the principal dimension of the wildlife subject and (iv) issue command signals to the three-dimensional printer to print the digital image file of the selected wildlife subject based on the adjusted three-dimensional digital image file.
