Probably everyone wanted to feel at least for a while in the shoes of their favorite hero. Or briefly be in a fantasy world. Cosplay allows, at least for a while, to plunge into a fictional world with its own laws.
Cosplay should not be confused with role-playing, because cosplay does not imply the development of the character or history of the character. It focuses on the detailed reproduction of the image of the character to the smallest detail.
Some people think that cosplay is limited only to curvy girls in skimpy outfits, but this is far from the case. The skill of some cosplayers is amazing. They manage to single-handedly create amazing things with precision and detail that many workshops cannot reproduce.

A good cosplay is not only an external correspondence to the appearance of the selected character, it is the ability to convey the character and other features of the character (for example, characteristic movements, facial expressions, etc.). At photo shoots, with the help of Photoshop, they try to add the atmosphere of the world to better convey the nuances of the character.
It is believed that the term Cosplay was coined by Japanese journalist Nobuyuki Takahashi. The word itself is a combination of the initial letters of the word costume (costume) and play (play).

The advantage of 3D printing for costume elements
Previously, a cosplay costume was literally made from improvised materials. Each, to the best of his skills, available tools and ingenuity, used various, mainly construction, materials to assemble the costume - isolon, glue gun, tourist rugs, etc.
Now available special materials for the manufacture of parts. The most popular of them is Eva foam.
Eva
Eva is a very convenient material for making a variety of armor. The biggest advantage over other materials is thermoplasticity. When heated, eva easily bends, and after cooling, it keeps its shape. On sale you can find eva foam of various hardness and thickness.
Making armor from eva
But there are certain nuances - for the correct cutting of eva, patterns are needed (there are special patterns or patterns for pepakura are redone). When cutting, it is necessary to take into account the location of the edges and make the cut not straight, but at an angle. Sections, after gluing, must be further processed with sandpaper. The surface of eva is porous, so it is advisable to treat the surface with latex before painting to obtain a smooth surface. For painting and putty, it is desirable to use elastic materials, because eva still remains a little flexible.
Pepakura
Papercraft - this is the name of patterns (reamers) for the manufacture of various elements from paper.
Not only cosplayers are addicted to papercraft, for some it is enough to glue a paper model for a collection.
Usually pepakura is used as an inexpensive and easy way to make massive armor when there is no way to get eva foam.
First, the paper model is glued together. Paper is usually chosen with a high density to minimize the risk of deformation of the model during further work.
Finished paper model
After gluing, the model must be strengthened. For this, fiberglass and epoxy resin are usually used. When impregnating a paper model, it is very important to ensure that the geometry of the model does not "lead". Usually epoxy and fiberglass are applied in several layers. Before applying a new layer, it is necessary to wait for the polymerization of the old one, usually it takes 24 hours.
The resulting model is strong, but too angular. Models in papercraft are high-poly and it is necessary to manually smooth out the angularity with putty and sandpaper. After painstakingly removing the surface of the model, it can be painted.

Models made by this method are very heavy due to epoxy and putty. And the manufacture of one product takes a lot of time, but this method remains popular because of its availability and low cost. Epoxy can be found in any building market, and fiberglass is easily interchangeable with other materials.
Modeling and casting
This method is suitable when you need to quickly produce many identical parts. A master model is made (for example, from plasticine) and a mold is removed from it using special silicone, into which epoxy, special two-component plastics or polyurethanes can then be poured, depending on what characteristics you need to get in the finished product.
Two-component plastic purity print with metallic powder
To color the finished casting, you can knead the dye into liquid plastic or rub the mold with special powders.
It makes sense to make silicone molds if you need to make many identical elements, it is not advisable to remove the silicone mold for one casting. Silicone is still not cheap and not everywhere you can buy it. In addition, it is necessary to have some skills in silicone and plastic/resin casting in order to minimize the amount of air bubbles and get a quality casting.
Handy materials
And of course, masters know how to use the most unexpected things for cosplay. For example, PVC pipes are often used to make frames for fantasy weapons. Izolon for making feathers for wings, etc.

3D printing
Using a 3D printer to make a complete costume may not always be advisable due to the high cost.
But in the manufacture of elements with complex geometry, small elements or high detail, it can greatly facilitate the task and save a lot of time. A 3D printer becomes indispensable for printing engineering, moving elements. This is very convenient when a seat for all wiring and electronics is immediately included in the model and you don’t have to puzzle over where to place everything after assembly.
But 3D printing also has its drawbacks. When fabricated on an FDM printer, models must be further processed to obtain a smooth surface. If you print on a photopolymer printer, then the cost of the finished product will be quite high. Large elements of the costume will have to be printed in parts and then glued together.
Cosplay 3D printer application examples
Whole costume printing
A 3D printer is becoming an indispensable tool for manufacturing geometrically complex suits or, for example, functional elements of armor.
Iron Man Armor.
Emily Yarid has been modeling, building and refining Iron Man armor since 2013. She initially took it up out of boredom, deciding to upgrade the costume she had.
In the Tony Stark suit, the reactor glows, the helmet automatically closes and opens. On the back there are functional "wings" that open and close.
One of Emily's ready-made costumes
The girl uses a 3D printer to make armor elements. After printing, she processes and paints the details herself.

HALO
A user with the nickname mosquitobandito collects full-fledged armor from the HALO universe.
Armor 3D model
Armor is almost entirely 3D printed. There are a lot of issues that need to be addressed when modeling to keep the armor as mobile as it is in the game.
Shoe cover
Pre-assembly of the upper part of the armor before gluing and processing.
The armor part is pre-cut into several parts and printed in parts on an FDM printer. After printing, be sure to check how the parts fit together, as the plastic may shrink unevenly.
Treated and painted hand protection
Costume print
Making a full-fledged costume using 3D printing is not always justified. Simple shapes are much faster and cheaper to make from other materials such as eva.
But complex parts such as helmets, weapons, armor elements are much more accurate if they are made using 3D printing.
Steam Punk Star Wars Helmet
Hand making all the patterns would take much longer, and it is important to make all the patterns symmetrical. This is a very painstaking work that requires a lot of patience, perseverance and experience.
Iron Man Steampunk Helmet
Composite weapon
Some elements seem quite simple to manufacture, but it can be very difficult, even with a template, to make symmetrical and smooth bends.
Wolverine Collectible Helmet
Master model making
Sometimes the material with the desired properties is found only among foundry resins and plastics. But to remove the form, you still need a master model.
Epoxy sword casting
It was necessary to make a transparent sword. Epoxy resin is well suited for manufacturing. The master model (except for the rose) was printed on a 3D printer.
Prepared master model
The sword was printed in half - it is much easier to get a high-quality casting without bubbles. The halves of the sword are still the same and can be glued together.
After printing, the surface of the master model was brought to perfect smoothness and primed.
Formwork is being prepared from improvised materials for pouring silicone molds
Preparation of the master model for filling with silicone
A slightly tinted epoxy resin is poured into the resulting mold to give an icy blue tint. After casting, 2 halves can be glued together with the same epoxy.
The result is a stunning sword, as if carved from ice. Such an effect would be difficult to achieve using other materials.

However, printing cosplay elements is not just pressing the start button on the printer, there are a lot of subtleties and nuances.
Difficulties in 3D printing for cosplay
Why is the help of specialists in 3D printing of cosplay elements necessary? In fact, there are a lot of nuances that only those who are familiar with the possibilities of 3D printing can easily cope with.
- Choice of printing technology - in most cases, FDM printing is used, since this option is the most budgetary. However, variations are also possible. It all depends on the specific task.
- The choice of equipment It is no secret that different models of 3D printers differ in size, print quality, accuracy, the ability to combine materials, etc.
- Material selection - most products are processed and dyed after printing, so it's not only, and sometimes not so much in color, but in the characteristics of materials. There are materials rigid, elastic, flexible, firm, transparent.
