3D Printing for Props
Create show – stopping props faster and with stunning detail – without compromising your artistic vision
Every unforgettable scene starts with a prop. From fantastical creatures to iconic set pieces, the artistry behind props is what brings stories to life. Discover how 3D printing is empowering creators to build faster, smarter, and with more freedom than ever before
Bringing your artistic vision to life, on time and to budget.
As industry demand grows for complex, high-resolution productions, 3D printing has emerged as an advantageous method, replacing traditional approaches to design and delivery.
Whether you’re designing for film, theatre, exhibitions, or theme parks – 3D printing with Photocentric offers significant benefits over traditional methods like clay moulding or working with natural materials.
Facing tight deadlines, intricate designs, or material limitations?
Our 3D printing solutions support every stage of your creative and delivery process, helping you move from concept to production with speed, precision, and flexibility.

A Smarter Way to Create:
Photocentric’s 3D Printing Ecosystem
We’ve built a complete ecosystem for prop makers – LC Titan, LC Magna, and high quality functional resins – to help studios work smarter, faster, and more creatively.
LC Titan
Massive build, precision at scale
Unlock the power of very large-scale production with the largest LCD 3D printer in the world. Featuring a massive build volume and 8k resolution, it’s designed for high-volume production with exceptional precision.
LC Magna
Versatile medium-sized printing & prototyping
Ideal for medium-scale prototyping and production, offering efficient production and 4k resolution. Perfectly complements LC Titan in a full workflow for seamless prototyping and production capability.
High-Performance Functional Resins
Choose resins that match your creative ambition and production demands.
From flexible finishes to flame-retardant protection, our range of performance resins is engineered to meet the diverse needs of prop makers – whether you’re crafting intricate details or large-scale outdoor set pieces.
Customer case studies
Bohanna Art is a creative art studio founded by Pierre, a seasoned prop and costume designer for Hollywood films. With a team of talented artists, the studio specialises in creating bespoke bronze art sculptures that elevate spaces with timeless sophistication using Liquid Crystal Magna to 3D print props. Each sculpture, thoughtfully imbued with a sense of timelessness, serves as a testament to the studio’s dedication to fine art and superior craftsmanship.
Marcus Dancy from Sojatec in Texas, USA used his Magna printers to 3D print props with BASF Ultracur3D® EPD1086 to create these amazing zombie sculptures designed by the artist Hyden3dmodel and inspired by Marvel’s Spiderman.
“These details could only be replicated with resin printers; Magna has a large build volume allowing us to run multiple parts at once. The cost to run the machine is cheaper than other LCD based printers. Compared to FDM we saved 10% in material cost, it printed 26% faster and made twice the amount of parts, at 45% higher details.”
Antler Tech use 3D printing with Durable DL110H resin the Liquid Crystal Magna to create life size replicas of antlers for hunting enthusiasts. They can scale down trophies and provide high detailed miniature models.
“Magna was a simple choice, it provided a larger build volume at a lower cost, without losing detail and was more affordable compared to other printers on the market. We were blessed to find it.” – Burk Adams Owner
