Plastic Aston Martin printed on a 3D printer filmed in Skyfall
The latest 3D printing technology from Voxeljet from Auksburg can be seen in the cinema, and specifically in the last part about spy James Bond (Skyfall). In the scene where the Bond car explodes. In total, 3 models of the Aston Martin DB 5 were created. The auto models duplicated the original priceless 1960 model car in the scene where the car is being destroyed. Action scenes in high-budget films, such as films about J. Bond, should look as realistic as possible.
“ Propshop commissioned us to build three plastic models of DB 5. We could easily print the legendary one-piece car (one part) at a scale of 1: 3 using our VX 4000 printer, which can create models up to 8 cubic meters. However, the British model makers went another In order to make sure that the parts most closely match the original, and in order to show the car’s numerous features in the film, we decided to assemble it from 18 individual components. The model was assembled on a steel frame almost identical to how it was assembled. about the past, "says CEO Voxeljet Ingo Ederer.
A total of 54 separate components were printed for three vehicles. These were roofs, hoods, fenders, doors, etc. After removing the extra material, the parts were packed and transported to Pinewood Studios near London.

After assembly, the model was painted and brought to a state where it was difficult to distinguish it from the original. Even on closer examination, it was almost identical to the original Aston Martin DB 5.
While the 3D models participated in the scenes of the explosions and burned in the film, DB 5 itself, which was filmed in the first Bond film 50 years ago, was unharmed.
By the way, one of the models was sold at Christie for $ 100,000.
Ingo Ederer also says that in addition to clients from other fields of activity, such as the automotive industry, foundry, design and artistic activity, the film industry opens up new opportunities to attract customers, because it is possible to create elements, scenery, models of buildings and other objects much faster and often cheaper than it is happening now.
