Props, Costume Design and Stage Sets
3D printing and additive manufacturing have become essential tools for the film-making and entertainment industry.
The advent of special effects, as well as computerised modelling, has upped the ante in helping make the impossible possible for many aspects of film production, including props, costume design and stage sets.
The team here at Ogle have worked closely with art directors, film-makers, costume designers, model makers, set designers and producers to create authentic props and stage sets for numerous productions over the course of 65 years. And, as with all aspects of our work, we understand the importance of confidentiality throughout the design process, ensuring no twists, turns or spoilers are released.
How can Ogle help you?
We have a wide range of processes and materials at our disposal for filmmakers and production teams to choose from. The most common process used in the film, TV and entertainment industry is SLA. This allows us to produce incredibly accurate parts and models that are ready for the finishing process.
For when strength is essential to your model or part, this is where SLS is the star of the show. This provides us with the ability to paint and finish a part or model, no matter how intricate the required finish.
We’re also able to complement our SLA technology with vacuum casting, where we can create a mould before casting multiple parts to provide added strength for one or a number of copies.
The benefits of 3D printing with Ogle:
– Accuracy: Realistic parts, featuring the very best in finishing and detailing
– Speed: Fast turnaround to produce prototypes, models or masters
– Cost: 3D printing can be more cost-effective than creating moulds and casting parts
– Control: Build props from CGI and CAD data
– Interactive: The ability to have your parts interact with post-CGI production
– Lightweight: Lighter parts that are both easier to transport and operate
– Projection: Allows you to create small models to exhibit to potential shareholders
– Confidence: Accurate prototypes allow you to comprehensively test before production
