3D Printing Hollywood Props with Higher-Speed Resin
June 30th, 1pm EST (10am PST)
ABOUT THE EVENT
3D printing is becoming ubiquitous in Hollywood. The flexibility to manufacture one–off parts quickly and affordably makes the technology an invaluable tool - while simultaneously removing barriers of creativity between digital design and physical objects. Rob Wiggins is one such Hollywood prop maker who has worked on the Transformers, Star Wars, and Marvel film franchises as a contractor for Hasbro, as well as designing and producing props and characters for major TV shows and Movies.
Join us as we talk with Rob about how 3D printing is used throughout Hollywood, his process for designing and producing full scale characters and props, and his recent discovery of 3rd-generation resin-based 3D printers – enabling him to print projects in a few hours instead of days or weeks.
