3D printing is going to be huge and we’re really just entering the first forays of what can be done with it outside of industrial applications. 3D printing your own Batman: Arkham Origins batsuit though, is perhaps the most nerdily awesome way of exploring how the internet and latest technology can be used to share a love of pop-culture and cosplay.
The design is a collaboration between Crimson Coscrafts, Gauntlet FX and Tundra Designs, from whom the print files can be obtained (links via sources at the bottom).
Steve Dee of Crimson Coscrafts talks a little about the design:
“The colours are not the standard issue Arkham Origins, as I wanted to go with the Dark Knight Skin you get at 100% completion. The suit is quite comfy to wear and movement is great. I can’t bend at the stomach but I didn’t expect that.”
“Tundra and Gauntlet had really thought about [the abs and obliques] and provided some squares of ribbed rubber to fit the pieces together, so I set to gluing these all up with some trust urethane glue with added gorilla glue.”
