Image Magic Inc. (Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Makoto Yamakawa) has begun accepting orders for its "Pet Figure from Photos," which utilizes proprietary AI technology, at eight nationwide locations of the comprehensive pet shop "Lavita," operated by Lavita Co., Ltd. (Okayama City, Okayama; CEO: Seiji Suwaki), through its 3D figure service "3DME."

This initiative utilizes an introduction partner solution where 3DME acts as a one-stop service for order taking, payment, manufacturing, and delivery, simply by placing dedicated promotional tools in-store. Through the partnership of both companies, rapid multi-store expansion for pet owners nationwide will be realized.

Expanding in-store introductions to meet the growing demand for pet memorials

In recent years, as pets increasingly become recognized as family members, there is a growing need among owners to "preserve memories with beloved dogs and cats in a special form." Through "3DME," the company has been providing "Pet Photo Figures"—creating 3D models and manufacturing figures from a single photo using AI technology—and expanding its introduction partner solutions for pet-related businesses.

With this recent partnership with "Lavita," a comprehensive pet shop with an extensive store network, the service has been officially introduced to eight major stores nationwide. Through the accessible customer touchpoint of a physical store, the company will propose new value as a record of a beloved pet's growth and as irreplaceable memorial goods.

Comment from Lavita Co., Ltd. Representative

Kaori Kawama, Executive Officer and Ikebukuro Main Store Manager, Lavita Co., Ltd.

"At Lavita, we have always pursued services that cherish the bond between pets and their owners. We felt that 3DME's pet figures perfectly align with this sentiment, which led to our decision to introduce them this time. We see immense value not only in giving shape to the 'very present moment' of the precious family members you currently live with, but also in allowing owners to preserve memories of beloved pets who have passed away as a one-of-a-kind 3D figure. As a service that closely relates to the memories and time of each owner, our entire staff is truly looking forward to bringing joy to many customers. We also have samples available in-store. You can actually hold them and take a closer look, so please feel free to ask our staff when you drop by nearby."
