Avatar, nominated for best picture – along with art direction and visual effects – and Coraline, nominated for best animated feature film, were brought to the big screen thanks to innovative 3D printing (or rapid prototyping) technology by Objet Geometries.
For Avatar, James Cameron relied on Objet-created models to plan how his characters fit in Pandora’s lush environment. With 3D printing, the production company Legacy Effects made detailed figurines of each blue-skinned humanoid (see images at right) to test lighting for every camera shot in the movie. The company also used the technology to create a Transformer-like, walking battle armor complete with cockpit.
For Coraline, LAIKA productions used Objet to create thousands of models ranging from cars to doorknobs and food spreads. The technology helped the movie break new ground in stop-motion animation, allowing the character Coraline to exhibit well over 208,000 facial expressions – an extremely significant jump compared to the 800 possible expressions in one of the last stop-motion films to generate buzz, The Nightmare Before Christmas, created in 1993 by the same director.
A leader and innovator in the rapid prototyping industry, Objet 3d printers are changing the way the films we love are made.

We have a lot of success in our restaurant but unfortunately, not so much online. The reason for that was because our website was outdated a lot of customers would complain about it being hard to use and understand. So, I was asked by my boss to find someone who would make our website more accessible and attractive so customers could order online as well and avail our online offers. I decided to go with your website because I had checked out your previous work and reviews and they were mostly good. After the discussion regarding what we wanted, the designer had begun our project and delivered us a good layout of the website but it wasn’t the most easy to handle. After a few more revisions, we were happy with the result and launched it. We have been receiving a lot of compliments thanks to you guys!custom logo design
