低价与个人化决定市场的未来改变世界的将是一款连8岁孩子都能操作的个人3D打印机。布莱恩·麦克林是Laike公司快速原型技术部门的一名创意总监,他需要为3D定格动画《通灵男孩诺曼》的27个角色创造出3.1万副不同的表情。在过去,定格动画需要用手工制造黏土模型,不过这一回,麦克林动用了4部3D打印机和3.77吨打印原料来制造这些东西。这些技术得到了3D打印行业最大的公司之一3DSystems的协助。人们总习惯称呼3D Systems的创始人查尔斯·胡尔(Charles W.Hull)为查克(Chuck)。在3D打印
Low prices and personalization determine the future of the market. Changing the world will be a personal 3D printer that can be operated by even 8-year-olds. Brian McLean is a creative director at Laike’s rapid prototyping technology department. He needs to create 31,000 different expressions for the 27 characters of the 3D stop motion animation “Psychic Boy Norman.” In the past, stop-motion animation required the use of hand-made clay models, but this time, McLean used four 3D printers and 3.77 tons of print materials to make these things. These technologies are assisted by 3D Systems, one of the largest companies in the 3D printing industry. People are used to calling Charles W. Hull, founder of 3D Systems, as Chuck. In 3D printing
