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 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.
Terminator suit from Warhammer 40k
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 in order 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.
Left paper model, right after strengthening, processing and painting
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.

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 in 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.

The Iron Man suit and the stop-motion animation revolution
XYZ Media
A technology that has already affected industry and medicine is now changing cinema.
One of the most difficult tasks in filmmaking is the creation of objects important to the plot, whether they be weapons, figures for animation, complex mechanisms and futuristic costumes.
All this requires the right material. Usually objects are created manually, which takes a lot of time and money and often brings inconvenience in operation.
3D printing could be a solution. This technology has already been used in cinema and there is every indication that it will significantly affect the industry in the future.
Author: Mark Tyutyunnik
What is 3D printing?
3D printing (additive manufacturing, AM) is the construction of three-dimensional objects from models created in CAD (computer-aided drawing programs) or other 3D digital models.
It is not necessary to draw up drawings for future objects on your own, you can download already developed 3D models - for example, here. Then you need to cut the model into thin layers (using special programs for slicing), in accordance with which the material will be superimposed during printing. By uploading the file with the model to the printer (via an SD card, flash drive or Wi-Fi), even a beginner can print the object.
Additive manufacturing has greatly influenced the development of a wide range of industries. It is used in the creation of weapons, the construction of buildings, the development of medicines and in other areas.
Gradually, this technology was adopted in the cinema.
The benefits of 3D printing are many. Firstly, the production of objects is carried out quickly and efficiently. Secondly, very complex objects can be made using this technology, which eliminates additional assembly steps and provides more freedom for designers.
Another advantage of additive manufacturing is the variety of materials. Printer manufacturers offer a set of sources, but the user always has the opportunity to mix different substances and even simulate ceramics or metal.
How 3D printing works
One of the most important parts of 3D printing is the scanner. It collects the physical data of object or of the environment (volume, texture and color) to create a digital model.
There are two main types of 3D scanners: contact and non-contact. The former explore the object through physical contact. The second is to collect radiation from the target object using a laser, structured light, photogrammetry, or optical coordinate measurement.
SLS technology is used to manufacture machine parts and objects with complex geometry. It helps to achieve high strength and precision. A roller rolls the powder, consisting of 50 micron diameter nylon spheres, onto a platform, and the printer heats it up to sintering temperature.
Then, with the help of a laser, these spheres are sintered layer by layer until the necessary detail is obtained.
BigRep ONE brand printers are mainly used in cinema. A build chamber with a volume of >1m3 simplifies the additive manufacturing of large-scale objects.
The fast speed and convenience of this production is possible thanks to the camera, which creates large life-size parts and allows you to directly monitor the process. When NeoMetrix Technologies released a video of the development of a functioning car on the BigRep ONE printer, the reason for the technology's popularity in film production was arguably obvious.
The use of 3D printing in animation
Laika Entertainment has pioneered the full scale application of technology in film. The company has resorted to additive manufacturing to provide naturalistic facial animation for stop-motion dolls. The idea was to take puppet "acting" to the next level.
When working on The Nightmare Before Christmas, director Henry Selick used hand sculpting and the usual replacement of faces - first they shot the head with one facial expression, and in the next frame they replaced it with another. But the range of emotions with this approach turned out to be very meager. When producing Coraline in the Land of Nightmares, Selick wanted the main character to be able to show as many subtle expressions as possible. That is why the director decided to conduct an experiment using 3D printing.
Leading additive manufacturing industry advocate Brian F. McLean Visual Effects Specialist for Coraline, Paranorman, Family of Monsters and Kubo: The Legend of the Samurai. He has probably the most experience with 3D printing in the film industry today.
In Coraline, McLean used traditional stop-motion animation and combined it with new techniques. Additive manufacturing has been used to create facial expressions of characters with thousands of details.
The specialist used three Objet printers, with the help of which the animators developed about 20 thousand facial areas that could convey more than 200,000 facial expressions.
The image above clearly shows the line of alignment of the upper and lower parts of the face, which was removed in post-production. Using traditional methods, this amount of work would have taken about 30 years, but thanks to 3D printing, it turned out much faster.
It is even more difficult to imagine how many years Paranorman would have taken to produce. The animators used about 40 thousand different facial elements to expand the emotional range. Each of the 40,000 elements was put into a special face library. Thanks to their combination, Norman alone had about 1.5 million facial expressions. Each short half-minute episode required about 250 different expressions for one character.
About 56,000 faces were printed for "The Monster Family", which were divided into two main areas: eyebrows and mouth.
Each of the options had special names, such as "raised eyebrows" or "pursed lips." Combining them, McLean got the unique expression he needed.
According to McLean, the aim of the rapid prototyping department was "to push stop motion into uncharted territory." This idea reached its peak in The Monster Family, where they tried to touch every muscle of the face, and the heads were printed specifically for one frame and were no longer used in the production of the cartoon.
McLean credits lead texture artist Tori Bryant for finding a way to recreate the nuances of coloring layouts by hand using additive manufacturing. She figured out how to compensate for the lack of color calibration on the printer and found that applying traditional drawing and coloring techniques to digital models resulted in a more believable result.
McLean has also used 3D printing on Laika's latest two projects: Kubo: The Legend of the Samurai and Lost Link.
The scale increased again - only the main character could have 48 million facial expressions. In addition, when creating both cartoons, PolyJet 9 technology was used.0694 , with the help of which painted the printed objects in the required colors.
3D printing in big-budget movies
Disney pioneered the use of 3D printing in feature films - Jason Lopez (Legacy Effects specialist who worked with Marvel Studios from Iron Man 2 to Guardians of the Galaxy 2 ”) using this technology greatly accelerated the creation of the Iron Man suit. First, experts scanned the body of Robert Downey Jr. - this was necessary to make wearing the suit more comfortable - and then printed armor fragments on Objet Geometries from various materials. Rubber was used for action scenes and fast movements, and metal for close-ups.
For Thor: Ragnarok, Hela's helmet was designed by José Fernandez, costume designer at Ironhead Studios, using this technology.
It used SLS (laser sintered nylon powder) with the addition of reinforced carbon fiber so that the headgear was not heavy.
3D printed synthetic materials such as nylon have also been used in the development of other Disney projects: Queen Ramonda's headdress from Black Panther; Kylo Ren costume, shining chrome stormtrooper armor, some parts of Rey's staff, C3PO droid as a costume for actor Anthony Daniels from The Force Awakens, Interpol car from The Muppets 2. Disney is again the first to apply new technologies, as it was with virtual production or the first “animation” of an actor using a mockup.
Additive manufacturing is also used by Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal Pictures and Warner Bros.
Rapid prototyping for 007: Skyfall produced an Aston Martin DB5 and a one-third life-size helicopter specifically for the explosion scene, which proved to be significantly cheaper than any other method.
Stratasys printers were used to design armor for the 2014 RoboCop remake.
A The red stripe on the visor was printed using a transparent photopolymer material.
The Apollo 11 spacecraft for Man on the Moon was also recreated using large scale printers - it was created using BigRep ONE V3.
Weta Workshop, a special effects and props company, used this technology to design helmets, sword hilts, spears and axes for the Hobbit trilogy. Animatronics engineer Rob Sheeney has stated that using 3D printing is beneficial as it is more economical and less time consuming. Then, in 2012, Weta Workshop also tested large-scale printers.
How 3D printing will change cinema
Cinematographer Victor Marin (Young Americans) believes that this technology will play an ever greater role in the future. He recommends combining methods, instead of replacing traditional ones with innovative ones.
Julia Koerner (helped with 3D printing for the Black Panther designers) also calls for a combination of these methods.
She sees the benefits of additive manufacturing in creating really complex and detailed structures that can't be created with traditional methods. In his work, Koerner tries to combine traditional methods with progressive ones.
Gilles-Alexandre Deschaux, creator of the stop motion short Chase me :
“3D printing is already widely used in the film industry, from stop motion films to big American blockbusters and commercials. 3D printing is often used to create decorative items and props, but not only there. At the development stages, it is used to promote new individual projects and conceptual solutions.
According to Pinewood Studios 3D supervisor Jet Cooper, the possibilities of this technology are already “incredible”, because if you want, you can even scan someone's face with all the wrinkles and pores.
Jet Cooper, Pinewood Studios 3D Supervisor:
“Voxeljet has the biggest printers.
Their maximum format: 4000 mm x 2000 mm x 1000 mm. This is the largest printer in the world as far as I know. We have a 1060mm x 500mm x 600mm resolution printer at Pinewood. Anything over this size, we print in parts and then put them together.
3D printing is used to create props, and the metal coating of the material makes it strong and durable. But the Germans are working on a new material - epoxy resins, which are as strong as stone. They are extremely hard."
3D printing is developing rapidly and is becoming cheaper every time, especially when compared to traditional methods or the use of computer graphics. Perhaps the day is not far off when handmade props and scenery will almost cease to be used in films - they will be replaced by cheaper and faster “printed” counterparts.
