Don't give me black technology

Chapter 149 3D Mold Printer

Meng Xiaobai walked towards him with brisk steps, and behind him were two employees whom they had never seen before.This is a researcher from Siben Electronics Factory, an industrial laboratory, who was temporarily called by Meng Xiaobai.

"Mr. Meng, hello." Joel also greeted Meng Xiaobai, and asked, "I don't know what else you think about this matter, Mr. Meng?"

Meng Xiaobai smiled and said, "Just now you said that apart from you, there is no company in the world that can produce tens of thousands of professional-grade film and television props. I don't think this description is accurate."

Joel thought that Meng Xiaobai wanted to negotiate conditions, so he said: "I mean, considering the comprehensive factors such as completion time, price, and degree of completion, we, Weta Digital, are undoubtedly the best choice. With our help, the cooperative film studio created a One miracle after another in the world movie box office history! Mr. Meng, is there any other company that can do this?"

His tone was extremely confident. In terms of digital special effects, companies such as Industrial Light & Magic and Digital Domain can compete with them, but they are the world's top producers of model props.

"Maybe you don't need any company, just a small machine?" Meng Xiaobai asked back.

"Machine? How is it possible? Those professional-level props need to be designed by top designers and manufactured by professional model makers. It may take half a year to a year to make a professional-grade prop. Machines alone, right? It can be done!" Joel felt a little angry that his company was being questioned by Meng Xiaobai.

Wu Binghui, Zhu Feiyang and others also looked at Meng Xiaobai, not quite understanding what he said.The several plans they had prepared were all rejected by Meng Xiaobai. Mr. Meng must have a new idea when he came here today, but I don't know what he planned.

"I'm talking about 3D printers, precise molds can be printed out in just a few minutes." Meng Xiaobai said.

"3D printer?" Joel was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "So Meng always meant that, I think you may not know much about this industry. We have used 3D printers many years ago, but 3D printers also have Its defect is that it is difficult to print many complex structures, and limited by the printing materials, 3D printers are not as amazing as you imagine.”

"It may also be that your 3D printer is not powerful enough, and there are too few printing materials." Meng Xiaobai said, "Our company's laboratory has only recently produced a 3D mold printer. Professional-grade movie props that only take a few minutes!"

"Wait, your company still manufactures 3D printers?" Joel wondered, what kind of company is this? Isn't it for film investment?

Not to mention him, Wu Binghui and others are also very puzzled, when did the company manufacture 3D printers?Although the company has an electronics factory, isn't that for smart electronic products?
Meng Xiaobai didn't explain too much to them. Anyway, it was a new product manufactured by the company's laboratory. He said directly: "Everyone, I have asked people to move the experimental product here. Let's go and have a look."

"Everything has arrived!" Wu Binghui said in amazement, "Go, go and have a look."

Joel also looked puzzled, this Huaxia boss even moved the machine here, what exactly does he want?Is this the way Chinese people bargain?

"Morris, what's going on?" Joel asked his assistant in a low voice while Meng Xiaobai and the others were walking out. Morris was a translator among the business representatives and was more familiar with Chinese culture.

Morris shook his head and said, "Mr. Joel, I don't know what's going on. I guess they might want to use this method to get you to lower the price of the order."

"Absolutely impossible!" Joel said firmly, "The more they behave like this, the more guilty they are, and our offer will not be less."

"I think the same as you." Morris agreed very much, "It's just a 3D printer. Our company has a lot of things like this."

A group of people came to an empty room, which was just cleaned up to make room for the 3D printer.

"This is our own 3D printer?" Wu Binghui looked at the big guy in front of him curiously. This is a large cabinet-type machine. It looks like other 3D printers in appearance, but the logo is exclusive to Deep Space Technology. trademark.

"Let me introduce our products to you." Meng Xiaobai said to the researcher who brought him.

The researcher nodded, and immediately began to introduce: "Everyone, this 3D mold printer is a new generation of 'Venus 3D mold printer' developed by our deep space technology and industrial laboratory."

"Here is a brief mention. The Venus series products are a new series of products of our Deep Space Technology in addition to the Mercury smart home appliances. They are mainly for industrial manufacturing machines."

"This Jinxing 3D mold printer has high-performance lasers, scanning galvanometers, printing nozzles and other parts, industrial-grade printing accuracy, and can use a variety of metal materials and special 3D printing materials... It comes with a 3D scanner and a computer operating system. , 250D printing size is 250mm×300mm×[-]mm.”

When the researchers talked about professional data, in fact, the people present did not know much. They only knew one thing. The performance of this printer has reached the industrial level, which is not comparable to that of ordinary 3D printers.

Moreover, the researcher emphasized that its printing accuracy is higher than that of the top industrial-grade printers currently on the market, it can print various complex structures, and it can use a wider range of materials-in short, its performance is several times better than similar products. times!
"The general situation is like this." The researcher finished.

Meng Xiaobai said: "After talking for a long time, I think you still don't quite understand it. As the saying goes, if it is a mule or a horse, you will know when you pull it out. Since this Venus 3D mold printer is an experimental product, it should be tested on site. gone."

"Mr. Joel happened to be here today, why don't we try it on the spot and see how it works when we use it to print the professional-grade movie props we need?"

Although Joel didn't think so, he still said, "I'm also very interested."

Zhu Feiyang, the prop master, asked: "Mr. Meng, then I'll bring over a design draft? Try printing a sword or a helmet or something?"

"That's too simple!" Meng Xiaobai waved his hand, "I have already asked someone to design a [-]D design, which is one of the professional-grade props to be used in our first movie, a miniature model of the huge bronze coffin."

"Bronze giant coffin!" Zhu Feiyang was startled when he heard Meng Xiaobai's words. This is the indispensable "Extreme Emperor Soldier" in the movie "Shading the Sky". core.

So they decided that the giant bronze coffin must be made into a miniature model, so that it will be more sensational when shooting and give the audience a shocking visual effect.

This prop is also one of the professional grade props.In Weta Digital's quotation list, the quotation for this prop is as high as 9 US dollars. If the nine dragons that pull the coffin from Nine Dragons are added, the quotation for a complete set of props will cost nearly 40 US dollars.

Such props, even if Weta Digital asked professional designers and mold makers to manufacture them, would take half a year. Now, Meng Xiaobai directly proposed on-site printing, isn’t it too difficult?

Zhu Feiyang was a little worried. It would be so embarrassing if the printing effect was not good!
