Toys and Collectibles

The toy and model-making industry has also embraced 3D printing, using it to create prototypes and one-of-a-kind models. With 3D printing, designers can create intricate and detailed models of their designs, allowing them to test and refine their designs before the actual manufacturing process begins. Additionally, 3D printing allows for the creation of unique and personalized toys and models for consumers.

Film and Television

3D printing is used to create props, costumes, and set pieces. These can range from small items like jewelry or weapon replicas to larger items like furniture or even entire sections of a set. It's particularly useful for science fiction or fantasy movies that require unique, non-standard items. It's also used in stop-motion animation, where detailed models are needed.

Video Games

In the gaming industry, 3D printing is used to create physical replicas of digital game assets, such as characters, vehicles, or props. These can be used for promotional purposes, merchandise, or collector's items. Some companies also offer services where players can order a 3D printed model of their in-game character or items.

Theme Parks

3D printing is used in the creation of new rides, attractions, and merchandise. It can be used to create scale models of new ride designs, custom parts for rides, or even entire sections of attractions. It's also used to create unique merchandise that's sold within the park.
