How 3D Printing Is Making Better Movie Monsters

gizmodo.com: Cinematic special effects have come a long way since Jason and the Argonauts. What once required dedicated and labor-intensive filming sessions can now easily be generated in near-lifelike quality by modern CGI. But Luma Pictures, an animation studio responsible for some of the biggest blockbuster movie effects of the last decade, has come full circle and incorporated 3D printed analog modeling into its design process.

I really love how far technology has progressed, 10 years ago, even 5 a 3D printer would have been a possibility. Now that they've gotten to the point where it can be incorporated into every day situations the possibilities are simply endless as to what you can do! That they have decided to work D printing into their "movie magic" only furthers the idea that as technology betters we too can become better.
