And the Academy Award goes to… a 3D printer. This year at the 82nd annual Academy Awards (3/7), movie stars will be sharing the spotlight with breakthrough technology. Avatar, nominated for best picture – along with art direction and visual effects – and Coraline, nominated for best animated feature film, were brought to the big screen thanks to innovative 3D printing (or rapid prototyping) technology by Objet Geometries. |
