A video of Jason discussing how Legacy Effects uses Objet technology is available here : He says, "in the land of CG, all you need is a computer, but real stunt work calls for endless, identical, often customized props. The 3D Craze, in the Theaters and Behind the ScenesĪccording to Jason Lopes, systems engineer at Legacy Effects, 3D printing is not yet common in movie-making but is likely to become so, especially as live action flicks make more of a come-back. He was thrilled with the change and happy to work in them for hours. For the sequel, the production company scanned Robert's hands and used the 3D printer to specially create flexible gloves no thicker than a dime. They were extremely tight and made it difficult for him to maneuver. The star was in constant discomfort due to the gloves he had to wear as part of the superhero suit. He remembers filming for the original Iron Man, which took place before Legacy Effects had an Objet system. Plus it's specially designed to be durable and comfortable for the actors, who engage in grueling fight scenes while wearing the gear. This body armor is in fact "print-to-wear" – comprised of pieces that came directly out of a 3D printer, simply finished with paint. Using a 3D printer by innovation leader Objet Geometries, the film's production company Legacy Effects created the iconic Iron Man suit, as well as the one worn by arch nemesis Whiplash (watch trailer here: ). The plot line parallels the production of the film, also made possible by cutting-edge technology: the latest advances in rapid prototyping, often called 3D printing. will once again transform into the technologically advanced superhero Iron Man thanks to his character's engineering prowess. ![]() PR Log (Press Release) – – On May 7th, Robert Downey, Jr. Made possible by cutting-edge technology: the latest advances in rapid prototyping, often called 3D printing. ![]() will once again transform into the superhero Iron Man thanks to his character's engineering prowess. ![]() The Technology Behind Iron Man 2: 3D Printing and the Future of Film ![]()
