voxeljet: the 3D printed Starbug prop - Red Dwarf
Embed
- Published on Mar 8, 2017
- Primarily, Red Dwarf is a character driven comedy with science fiction elements used as complementary plot devices. It has a great reputation for its use in scale models over digital special effects and not much has changed over the years. One of the main space crafts used in the series is the JMC transport vehicle Starbug which has appeared in most of the episodes and has been known to crash land on a number of occasions.
In production terms, the scale model of Starbug needed to be strong enough to withstand several crashes while being used on set. We approached the team at Red Dwarf to discuss a possible solution to preserve their ‘hero’ Starbug from sustaining any damage at all.

That's amazing! I never knew how big it was. I wish that was my job! You lucky guys!
Love it :-)
I'd love to be able to get the cat design for this or a copy or something?? someone must have some info on it or possible buying of a replica? thanks, Stuart
Painted green by brush and in one coat???? why? Great way to kill surface detail.
gold333 looks like a kid painted with his feet
Who made the one that you scanned in?

Ooooooh yeah
once again how much does it cost for one????why don't you answer anybodies questions????
@C H im sorry for my rudeness, i aplogise........
Stop demanding answers. So rude.
How much does it cost to build/print one though?
thank you, for getting back to me
Hi Felix,
Thank you for qour inquiry. This model was made specifically for the customer. Unfortunately we cannot offer this for sale. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Best regards
your voxeljet-team
What about CGI ? Just 1000 times cheaper and better looking results...
great 3D printer for industrial productions by the way!
