Objet 3D Printers - News

Avatar, nominated for best picture – along with art direction and visual effects – was brought to the big screen thanks to innovative 3D printing (or rapid prototyping) technology using Objet 3D Printers.

We invite you to take a look at the
technology behind the special effects: For Avatar, James Cameron relied on Objet-created models to plan how his characters fit in Pandora’s lush environment. With 3D printing, the production company Legacy Effects made detailed figurines of each blue-skinned humanoid (see images to the left) to test lighting for every camera shot in the movie. The company also used the technology to create a Transformer-like, walking battle armor complete with cockpit. A leader and innovator in the rapid prototyping industry, Objet printers are changing the way the films we love are made. |
