Application of 3D printing technology in the film and television industry

The application of 3D printing in film and television is developing very rapidly. Why? Because many film and television drama shooting tasks require special customization, and the amount is generally relatively small; this demand is innately compatible with the rapid prototyping of small batches of non-standard parts that 3D printing is good at. There are
