Pixar Studios 3D Printer Tour- Toy Story 3- Part 1

We are huge Pixar fans. Thumbs up if you liked Toy Story Three's nomination for Best Picture in the academy awards. Follow us on twitter for more updates on the new videos- http://twitter.com/pop17 and be sure to like us on facebook http://facebook.com/pop17 You have no idea how magical Pixar is until you go to their campus. Leave a comment and I will be bringing one of my special fans to the Pixar campus.
Lee Unkrich, director of Toy Story 3, recently Tweeted about behind the scenes of the five-time Oscar-nominated movie. He gives a tweet out to Z Corp printer. Pixar used their 3D printing technology to create models of the characters we see in the film. Warren Trezevant was gracious enough to show us around their 3D printing studio. I the video, he explains how the 3D prints are the most precise replication of the actual characters. You can't buy a toy this real!

The Z Corp equipment creates the characters in full color. The 3D printer that made this model uses inkjets very similar to the ones in commercial printers and sprays the ink onto an off white surface that is similar to plaster.

It is very exciting to see the 3D data from those films now being used to create the Disney Pixar zoetrope. Subscribe for more videos behind the scenes at Pixar.

0:45 - I remember seeing that type of printer at the Maker Faire a few years ago, but it only printed in black and white. Something seemed incomplete about it though. I love how Pixar found out a way to accurately paint the image nearly pixel perfect.

1:35 - What does that Alto-Shaam do? I didn't pick up what she said.

2:06 - So those printouts are actually being used in the film, sort of like a stop motion film? Cool.

2:53 - Congrats Sarah on getting that behind the scenes op.

@lbmixpro :45 yes Bre Petis makes some pretty amazing stuff with that!

2:06 yes exactly from a moment in time from the film

So, pretty much like Coraline's faces, only those were painted manually.

Thanks for bringing us along with your tour!...really like it very much and by the way, where is buzz lightyear? because all i see Woody, Woody and more Woody....haha, just joking...

@pop17 I could do a cartoon too Sarah, I've been drawing for over 30 years, how do you think I got into sculpting. Those big tubers might not like me, but never forget I had more talent than them even when I was their age. That's one of the reasons they don't like me, I rock the boat.

@EMStampa1 how much for a detailed model the size of a human head out of your stereolithography machine? I have Zbrush 3.5r so I could sculpt it in there.
