CRP Technology’s 3D Printing Innovations enrich Michael Mann’s ‘Ferrari’

CRP Technology‘s Windform composite materials add an innovative touch to the cinematic landscape as these precision-engineered 3D printed props add a dynamic layer to Michael Mann’s latest film, “Ferrari”. These props emphasize not only the versatility, but also the high-performance capabilities of Windform materials.

Among the manufactured parts are visors for driver’s helmets, pit parts and cat’s eyes, which were strategically placed in the scenes shot in Modena and Northern Italy. The integration of these components into the film was achieved by using the latest additive manufacturing techniques and harnessing the power of Windform.

Michael Mann, the renowned director and producer, returns to the forefront after almost a decade to unveil his masterpiece ‘Ferrari’. The film, which was released in Italian cinemas on December 14, will be released worldwide on Christmas Day. It pays tribute to the legendary Enzo Ferrari, played by Adam Driver, and highlights his unparalleled influence on the world of motorsport.

CRP Technology received the order for the components during the shoot in Modena, and they had to be used immediately during the shoot in both Modena and Northern Italy. CRP Technology’s highly skilled workforce ensured on-time delivery, allowing the strict filming schedule to be met.

The precisely manufactured 3D printed props, including driver helmet parts (visor), pit components and cat eyes, became integral parts of the film narrative. The Windform composites, including Windform XT 2.0 (for pit components), Windform GT (for visors) and the rubber-like thermoplastic Windform RL (for cat’s eyes), were chosen for their excellent mechanical properties.

The film production team praised CRP Technology for its fast availability, efficient production and on-time deliveries, and recognized the exceptional quality of the 3D printed components – a testament to CRP’s unwavering commitment.

This collaboration not only reaffirms CRP Technology’s commitment to the advancement of industrial 3D printing, but also solidifies its position as a trusted partner for groundbreaking projects in the dynamic film production landscape. The seamless integration of Windform composites and advanced AM technologies into cinema underscores the tremendous potential of 3D printing and the right manufacturing materials in producing customized, world-class components for various industries.
