WHAT FILM- AND PROP-MAKERS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT 3D PRINTING

From day one, the movie industry has tried to create motion pictures in which everything looks as realistic as possible. Filmmakers and directors have been using a combination of diverse camera tricks, special effects, but also props to make the audience believe what they see is real.

There are several cases where modelers, designers, artists and restorers come to certain limits when creating a piece of work. Particularly when it comes to the creation of bigger, complex and detailed pieces of art. Traditional methods are proving not only to be more time intensive but often times also very cost intensive. Through a combination of new 3D printing technology and traditional artwork, designers have the possibility “to create efficiencies and help artists render their concepts, from start to finish”, says Rop Arps (Tacoma News Tribune, 2016).

Always a highlight in the world of cutting-edge tech tradeshows, this years Mobile World Congress 2015 certainly lived up to expectations, providing the perfect forum for the world's best and brightest tech companies to showcase their wares.
