In films like Rogue One: A Star Wars Story 3D technology had a key part to play in making those creatures look so… creature-like.

3D scanning makes this possible by taking an exact scan of an object or person and then manipulated with computer 3D design software to produce assets for film that can either be animated or rendered to produce stunning CGI effects.

A large proportion of feature films nowadays use 3D technology and CGI. Why? Because it can be very costly and time-consuming to 3D model complex objects by hand for a company and so, many will opt to scan objects with a 3D scanner.

It’s safe to say that 3D printing has already taken the world by storm. Whether it’s by the aerodynamic parts it can print for formula one cars, or having the ability to print an exact model of yourself in miniature 3D form in a couple of hours. The technology’s potential really is boundless.

Perhaps the most valuable aspect of 3D scanning and printing is how it can significantly enhance the medical field, and already has.

A technique called bioprinting is based on bio-ink, which is made of living cell structures. This process involves creating cell patterns that can be printed and built up, layer by layer. Bioprinting is used to create organs, tissues and medications.
