>>7338731Example is EVERYTHING. Almost. Every major toyline uses plastic injection parts. Geometric shaped toys like Lego don't need 3D print scans for obvious reasons.
Organic sculpts can be done digitally since a decade ago and that's the case for all major toylines.
3D scanning a 3D print doesn't even make sense. YOU NEED A FAR BETTER 3D SCANNER THAN THE 3D PRINTER for this to work. You say you work in "this industry" but you don't seem to know how bitch ass it is to generate functioning surfaces and edges from point-cloud data.
3D Prints are used by these companies during the prototyping phase ONLY to get a feel of the physical model and if it'll work right. The only instance you'd use a 3D print for molding the toy is when you're using certain casting methods, like the nipponese garage kits made from silicone molds, or investment casting for those retarded tourist bronze statuettes. That's the industry you're working in, right? Making stupid bronze statuettes? THOSE AREN'T TOYS, grandpa!
