3D Printing and Stopmotion

     3d printing, I never stop hearing about it. Could it be the biggest invention since sliced bread? It is not a new thing that 3d printing has been used in animation, Paranorman by Laika is one of the earliest stop motion films to incorporate it. 3d animation has been one of the biggest innovations in animation, it seems that majority of feature films are made in 3d. That being said, 3d printing is a bridge between 3d Animation, and stop motion. Printing different heads, and body parts for characters seems like something that would make the process a lot easier and quicker.. In reality it takes about the same time still having to design the parts, sand them down, and paint them.
     3d printing and animation, we had an article on this before.. Laika seems to be the company using it the most. 3d printing has really made creating props for films way more accessible in movies like Starwars and more. Hopefully as it becomes cheaper and more accessible we will see more use of it!
