Objet 3D Printing Plays Important Role in Iron Man 2 Creating costume parts for the Iron Man 2 was no small challenge for Legacy Effects, one of the production companies that worked on the hit movie. But, with cutting-edge 3D printing technology by Objet Geometries, Legacy Effects was able to create "print-to-wear" body armor, worn by both Iron Man and his arch nemesis Whiplash, with relative ease. Comprised of pieces printed by a service bureau using an Objet 3D printer and plated with chrome, the body armor is both durable and comfortable for the actors, who engage in grueling fight scenes while wearing the gear. Robert Downey, Jr., who recalls the great discomfort caused by the more traditional armor during the filming of the first Iron Man, benefited from flexible gloves no thicker than a dime that were made to perfectly fit his hand.

Describing Objet Geometries as a pioneer in the 3D printing industry, the article places a special focus on the Connex and Alaris systems.

Well-designed prototypes take this functional component into account, but, until the development of the Connex 3D printing systems, doing so was either impossible or very costly. Now, with the Connex 3D printing systems' ability to print with several materials in one build process, prototypes can be created with varied friction coefficients on a single surface.

The company investigated Objet's Alaris30 desktop 3D printer and discovered that the Alaris30 was the first 3D system within the company's budget that also produced high-quality parts suitable for medical device work. With the Alaris30, Arch Day has cut its prototype iteration cycles from three days to three hours, and tripled the number of iterations it does.
