Some prototypes we create kind of stay with us long after the work has been done. BB8 has really been a fun project and there are many nice things that came out of this project. This framed image of the 3D Printed BB8 prototype we created is for a special someone, story coming next week to the blog.
Every month at Realize we look for a featured item to create using 3D printing and for June we have selected Tyrannosaurus rex. Commonly referred to as T. rex, it’s one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs that ever lived. We selected this in honor of the new Jurassic World film that was just released.
The new dinosaur park movie just crushed all expectations, Universal’s Jurassic World soared to a record $204.6 million debut in North America and $511.8 million globally. Globally, the movie posted the largest weekend bow in history, eclipsing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2 ($483.2 million) and becoming the first film to ever cross $500 million in one weekend.*
Realize, Inc. 3D Printed item of the month for June: T. rex
Here is our 3D Printed T. rex! We used Accura 25 resin and it was created in our iPro machine. Don’t forget, there was a scene is Jurassic Park 3 that referenced a “Rapid Prototyper!” It was a pretty big deal when 3D printing/rapid prototyping was mentioned in Jurassic Park III back in 2001. In the film, a group of paleontologists re-create a velociraptor’s resonating chamber using a 3D printer.
