3D printing has been used a lot in the creation of unique films and cinema lately. This latest use is the first we have heard of it going to use in the creation of a CG animated commercial.

I wonder if this will convince others that 3D printing may make for a more efficient means of producing CG films. Read and see more on this at: http://3dprint.com/23364/3d-printed-cg-snail/
