High-Resolution Models for Movies, Medical, and More

Creating models and props through traditional techniques can involve time-consuming processes like robotic milling, especially for larger pieces. In-house 3D printing enables you to take full control, from start to finish, making it easy to tweak your design process and make iterations. High-fidelity models will help you communicate with clients, bringing your digital creations to life like never before.
