Art, Fashion, TV and Film Prototypes

Malcolm Nicholls ltd (MNL) unique approach to 3D Printing and additive manufacturing has produced some supreme examples of work that have supported the Art, Fashion, TV and Film sectors for over 50 years. Whether you’re creating a bespoke object d’art, film prop, or individual fashion accessories, the model-makers and digital technologies at MNL have a complete toolset of experience, skills, materials, and techniques to achieve a diverse range of objectives – which can be an initial step in translating the creative artist’s concept into reality.

Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing is an ideal go-to technology for artists, and model makers of all types and ambitions. Digital manufacturing technologies are being embraced around the world by dress designers of all stripes. From dresses, shoes, hats and jewellery, designers are exploiting this burgeoning industry for designing and making wearable art and accessories to footwear and haute couture clothing. This approach has also been put to good use within film and T.V prop manufacture where MNL has been involved with many projects including a well-known “British spy film”.

Beautifully crafted photographic models with exemplary attention to detail for billboard advertising and alike are another forte for the MNL team. For larger public space projects models can support the development of ideas and test the viability of materials and structures. Likewise, models can be presented as part of a response to a commissioning brief giving the best representation to judgement panels for a winning concept and design.
