Fathom Digital Manufacturing’s Post

How PolyJet Played a “Moving” Role in a Hollywood Movie Guillermo del Toro’s creative vision for his movie, Pinocchio, required a new style of puppet fabrication. The use of stop-motion animation required strict continuity for the mechanically-operated puppets, especially for the shapes and colors of Pinocchio’s nose, head and eyes. Fathom produced thousands of variations of these components using a versatile 3D printing technology called PolyJet. We also developed a workflow and quality-control process to ensure the continuity of their shapes and colors. This innovative solution enabled del Toro to reimagine this type of animation in a way that made the puppets more life-like.

They can be produced much faster using PolyJet 3D printing https://lnkd.in/ghUFTxEV). Polyjet enables you to build incredibly detailed prototypes and models in a matter of hours that incorporate a variety of material properties and aesthetics: - By combining photopolymers in different concentrations and structures, PolyJet can simulate plastics, rubber and other materials. It can print textures and patterns that aren’t possible with any other 3D printing method. - It enables the production of highly accurate parts with different durometers, from rigid to rubber-like consistencies, multi-color, transparent and translucent materials – all in a single build! - It enables several materials to be printed simultaneously, simulating overmolding – but without costly tooling. What can YOU imagine and create with this versatile technology? Add more impact to your visual models with PolyJet!
