Day 7 复盘

"Fans of popular TV programmes and films have long used arts and crafts to express their attachment to fictional characters".

正如文章提到的这句,3D 打印为影迷自己“生产”周边产品。树人格鲁特,金色飞贼,权力游戏铁王座等等都可以打印出来,甚至定制其他产品。作为权力游戏的粉丝,我去年还买了一套权力游戏纪念版的monopoly, 现在想想价格还真是不菲呢。如果可以用3D打印技术,私人订制token,sigil,周边。自己选择或者动手参与设计一套私人订制的小雕像,模型,简直是粉丝的福音。

然而,原创公司的日子就没那么好过了。毕竟是绞尽脑汁创作出来的IP,怎么能这么轻易就被“抢走”了。所以很多品牌公司对3D打印社区采取强硬打击态度,但是,也有一些公司是要更好地利用3D 社区,采取相对温和的态度。技术创新和新事物总是给既得利益者带来冲击,3D社区和大公司的博弈才刚刚开始。
