The miniature world theme park Madurodam has a new exhibit on show from today – miniature models of the royal family printed in 3D.

The minature versions of king Willem-Alexander, queen Máxima and their three daughters have been placed outside the miniature version of Huis ten Bosch palace.

Spokeswoman Caroline Riemslag told broadcaster Nos the family were scanned on their return from Brazil where they had watched a Dutch World Cup football match and were all enthusiastic about the project.

Another version of the royal family was made by hand, as were all the models up until now. ‘3D printing is the future,’ Riemslag said.
