The 3D printed Batman works in tandem with marketing for the ‘Batman Begins’ movie and the figurine is available in several different 3D printed materials. Eager fans can choose from collectibles available in:
- Multicolor
- Paintable white polyamide
- Stainless steel
“We are really proud to be the first to bring Batman alive in the 3D printing world,” said Kari Voutila, CEO of Launzer.com and 3D Online Factory Ltd. “Batman has always been a pioneer in new technologies and 3D printing is a natural step for this superhero.”
If you ask a gamer or a moviegoer why they have shelves lined with figurines and what the collections mean to them, they usually respond with two words: good memories. With the emotional connection often tying consumers to their favorite characters, 3D printed marketing–along with offering users the ability to paint figurines and be involved in other creative projects–is a great way to tie fans to a variety of pop culture products which they usually don’t mind paying for. It’s fun all around, and is often also the path and positive impetus for introducing individuals of all ages to the joys of digital design and 3D printing.
Launzer offers countless 3D printed items from their new DC Comics figurines to other brands like Dibidogs and Year Zero Tactics. They market 3D printed jewelry pieces, phone cases, tie clips, and other novelty items. For the Batman and upcoming projects they will be partnering with i.materialise.
