3D-printed prop canoe arriving soon at Jungle Cruise

Lol, well I don't think there is a "conclusion" here that will satisfy you. You have several posters here telling you that the quality would be up to the level where you wouldn't tell the difference, as its just a different method of creation using the same materials.

So really the only way that is going to satisfy you is going to see it in-person so you can judge it yourself. And well that is just going to have to wait until they place one inside the Parks. And who knows when that will be, if its not already done.

They responded to what was possible with 3D printing. The question of if the specific themed iron work from the article is up to par (or even finished) is another issue entirely.

As no one here has seen that specific piece in-person no one here is going to be able to satisfy you.

Hence why I said "So really the only way that is going to satisfy you is going to see it in-person so you can judge it yourself."

Ok I’ll let you have the last word as always so this meaningless cyclical conversation can end.

This reminds me of the castle roof debacle- how they swapped the roofs from actual slate to plastic in 2019.

Then in 2019-

The new roof just looks artificial, and it reflects light poorly. It's one of those little things- like astroturf in the hub/storybookland- that decrease the authenticity of the place.

3D printing is generally not an efficient process for making things in volume. It's also has limitations in the materials that can be used though commercial range where they can even do metal is much wider than consumer.

Disney has long used computer aid both in design and in construction so this isn't a whole lot different. I have to imagine that the basic structure will come out of the printer and that they'll be airbrushing it and doing other work to it after, anyway.

3d printing has also been used at WDI for ages when it comes to prototyping and models.

I will give Disneyland a small pass on the Astroturf. They are trying to conserve their water usage in Southern CA. And no other park does it. I would much rather the DL water management protocols focus water on keeping its plants and trees healthy.

Knott's does.
