3d Printers Help Laika

    3D printers are amazing! I think this could be one of the greatest improvements to stop-motion since clay! Laika is known for their films like Coraline, Paranorman and Boxtrolls, but what many people don't know is that since the new technology of 3D printing has came about Laika has found it to be one of the most important tools at their disposal! This allows much faster creation of  stop motion as the face is one of the toughest things to animate in stop motion.
     As being someone obsessed with 3d printers I found this article super interesting! I think 3d printing will definitely benefit stop motion in the aspect it will make it much faster and easier, but on the contrary it definitely discredits stop motion in my opinion, after all doesn't 3d printing make it almost to exactly the same as 3d animation? I really want to see what 3d printing in the future holds for Laika.
