As part of the International Cartoon Festival of Angoulême, MÉTROPOLE, a France-based specialist in event management, digital printing, and large-format 3D printing, produced five life-size characters using its Massivit 3D printer.

The Massivit 1800 3D printer boasts printing speed of up to 35cm (14”) per hour.


“Only the Massivit 3D printer, deployed by MÉTROPOLE, could have pulled off this feat in terms of turnaround time,” said Franck Bondoux, the festival’s president. “Our life-size statues were ready onsite on the opening day of the festival, creating just the wow effect we had been aiming for.”

“It took less than four weeks’ work – 80 hours of printing plus 200 hours of assembly, sculpting and painting – to create the five comics characters displayed at Angoulême station,” said Denise Zanet, associate director at METROPOLE.
