3D Printing World and North America are Welcoming a NEW HERO

China’s hit of the summer, animated blockbuster Ne Zha, is heading to North America. Well Go USA Entertainment will release the film exclusively in select 3D Imax theaters in North America on August 29th, followed by a nationwide expansion on September 6th. This Chinese animation “Ne Zha” has earned word of mouth since its release on July 26th in China, with its proof of box-office value higher than 4.1 billion RMB.

The main character in this movie named Ne Zha is a young spark in adorable appearance with strong will. Audiences are so impressed by his heroic deeds that 3D model of Ne Zha has been produced within a short time. Upon this occasion, let’s talk about something interesting about 3D printing and 3D Printed animation models.

How could 3D printing produce 3D animation models so quickly?

1.    Low threshold for skills

Traditional animation modeling highly requires designers on professional skills in styling and prototyping. However, 3D printing animation models would be much easier for makers and hobbyists. Anyone can make a 3D printed animation model only if he/she knows how to use 3D software and have some certain understanding about 3D modeling.

2.    Short production time

Skipping all the steps of mold opening and prototyping, it can greatly reduce the production time. Three steps to bring your lovely animation character into life: 3D modeling on 3D software; get your STL file, print it out by your 3D printer.

3.    Lifelike figure with fine texture

SLA (Stereolithography) is the vastly popular technology for its ability to produce high-accuracy. Photosensitive resin can reproduce delicate structures and fine texture due to its features of smoothness, easy coloring.

4.    No assembly process

3D printers can produce the whole animation models, requiring no assembly process. If you need to make a large model, you can separate it into several parts, and then assemble them up.

5.    Scaled customization

Scale customization is a production method that provides customized products and services at low cost, high quality, and high efficiency based on user needs. As a way to realize "smart production" and "smart factory" in era of Industry 4.0, 3D printing technology integrates informatization and industrialization, so as to realize large-scale production through intelligent manufacturing. In the "Made in China 2025" plan, 3D printing has become an important technical means to accelerate the realization of intelligent manufacturing.

6.    Low cost

Compared to traditional prototyping, 3D printing can reduce cost in term of labor, time, and production.

7.    Environment-friendly material

Materials applied in 3D printing are non-toxic, such as environmentally friendly resin or PLA material. Taking the PLA filament as an example, it is a new type of bio-based and renewable biodegradable material made from starch raw materials extracted from renewable plant resources (such as corn, cassava, etc.).

Overall, 3D printing will empower more possibilities in animation modeling and even in film industry with benefits of low cost, realistic effects, higher figurability.

 Few days ago, our CREALITORS already printed the little man jumping out from the attractive animation movie. It is printed by CREALITY CR-X via FDM technology.
