Ars Technica: 3D printing is a technology that seems to have gotten a little ahead of itself—we have more 3D printers than we know what to do with, yet they often serve little purpose beyond making sad versions of model dinosaurs and pizza wedges. But the tactile art seems to have found an unlikely home in movie special effects, even amid all of the CGI.
The article really didn't say anything about how CGI was being affected by 3D printing but it did bring up how 3D printing is being utilized in prop making to make more accurate and detailed props as well as making pieces of props and putting them together to make one cohesive prop. I think 3D printing has a lot of potential but I do not think we are at the point yet where we can actually utilize them to their fullest extent.
I don't know the details about how exactly 3d printing works, but it seems like there is a lot of potential for this kind of technology, and not only in film. The technology will always be expanding and improving, but unfortunately there's also a chance for it to be misused. I read a different article the other day where police in the UK arrested a man for supposedly 3D printing gun parts. It turned out that the pieces were not in fact gun parts, but it does bring up the potential that 3D printing has as it progresses for creating weapons in the wrong hands.
