Looking back on 2022, we have selected our favorite 3D printing videos from across the year. We have a range of content for you this time, so enjoy! From our original interview with additive manufacturing software company nTopology as part of our #talk3D series, to our 3D Explained guide of 3D printing for beginners, and finally our test and review of the Nexa3D XiP resin printer from Nexa3D. Aside from the 3Dnatives video selection, we also have videos covering a range of different sectors, from film, to COBOD’s 3D printed construction, to fashion. For the foodies among us, we even have a video about 3D printed cakes! We at 3Dnatives wish you a very happy 2023 with lots of 3D printing!
Industry Insights From #Talk3D
If you like seeing the brains behind 3D printing business and operations, you’ll enjoy this video. Our #Talk3D series always features a key player within a leading business in the 3D printing world. nTopology is a NY-based startup which is a leading engineering design software company for additive manufacturing. We sat down Bradley Rothenberg, the company CEO, who gave us quick fire answers on the uses of nTopology CAD software, his personal inspirations, and the future of the AM market. Wondering what book inspires him? Or where nTopology’s name came from? You’ll find the answers below!
3D Printing For Animated Movies
This video shows us how additive manufacturing and digital design can bring designs to life for the entertainment industry. Firstly, we learn about stop-motion animation, where frames are filmed at a rate of 24 frames per second. The video then focuses on Laika: this is an animation studio known for Coraline and The Box Trolls. In an interview with Brian McLean, director of Rapid Prototyping at the company, he discusses the use of 3D printing for animation of facial expressions. Artists can now make thousands of expressions with ease and create nuanced, subtle stories when compared to traditional methods. In order to achieve this Laika uses Stratasys printers to create the faces. Moving away from their specific example, we hear about how CADCAM can democratize design and take film to the next level.
