The most 3D printed faces made for a stop-motion film is 106,000 by the animation studio LAIKA for its film Missing Link (2019). The studio uses a ‘replacement animation’ technique where thousands of individual faces, with different facial expressions, are color 3D printed and replaced onto the body of the puppets for each frame of animation. The studio’s previous film, Kubo and the Two Strings (2016), saw 64,000 3D printed faces made.
