The short film, What are Some of the Coolest Things That Have Been 3D Printed?, by Lily Marcelin with a voice over by Drew Borden, is an interesting and informative exploration of the many possibilities offered by 3D printing technology. The film showcases a range of objects that have been 3D printed, including prosthetics, pills, robots, and even entire buildings.
One of the film’s key themes is the potential for 3D printing to reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing. By requiring less time, labor, and materials than traditional manufacturing methods, 3D printing has the potential to significantly reduce the amount of fossil fuels produced in the manufacturing process. This is an important point that highlights the many benefits of 3D printing beyond simply creating cool objects.
The film is well-crafted, with engaging visuals and a clear, concise narrative that makes the concepts easy to understand. However, the background music can be distracting at times and makes it difficult to hear the narration.
To improve the film, the filmmakers could consider providing more detailed information about the specific 3D printing technologies used to create the objects showcased in the film. They could also include interviews with experts in the field to provide additional insight and context.
Overall, What are Some of the Coolest Things That Have Been 3D Printed? is a fascinating introduction to the exciting world of 3D printing. It is sure to pique the interest of anyone curious about this emerging technology and its many potential applications.
I give this film 4 out of 5 stars
