Hollywood, Ghost in the Shell and 3D printing

3D printing has captured industries such construction, automotive, and medical. Giving us things from homes to skyscrapers. The limits of 3D printing are being broken and pushed to the next level with each passing day. So with all these developments, it’s not wonder that Hollywood has taken notice, instituting this technology in the highly anticipated Masamune Shirow film adaption of the famous manga/anime Ghost in the Shell.

With the film coming to theaters at the end of this week (for those in North America), we have decided to take a look at how they incorporated 3D printing technology into the film, in order to make Major Motoko Kusanagi’s (played by Scarlett Johannson) robot Skeleton.
