Legacy Effects are one of Hollywood's top visual effects studios. Using 3D printing to streamline their workflows, they have become the first choice for many filmmakers, creating pieces for Iron Man I/II/III, The Avengers, Pacific Rim, Avatar, Snow White and the Huntsman, The Amazing Spiderman and many more. Lead systems engineer Jason Lopes will discuss how utilising a range of 3D printing technologies, they've developed a system of round-the-clock printing, giving them the edge on many competitors to create better pieces in less time, allowing many layers of revision in a much shorter space of time.
