SLS Rapid Prototyping Helped In The Development of The Crittercam
The Crittercam was envisioned and invented by marine biologist and filmmaker Greg Marshall. National Geographic introduced the first generation of the Crittercam back in 1987 and has continually been improving it. The Crittercam has been used in March of the Penguins, National Geographic’s Wild Chronicles and many other National Geographic DVDs.
With this new version, Greg Marshall and his team wanted to make it smaller, lighter and incorporate the latest technology for both audio and video, thereby allowing it to be more robust. In order for this to occur, they needed to think outside the box. They decided that a custom SLS part would serve multiple purposes and allow them total design freedom.Click here to read the full story and find out how Quickparts was able to help National Geographic meet their needs.
