Materials and Manufacturing Capabilities
Selecting the right material is critical to achieving the desired look, performance, and durability for film and TV props. TriMech helps teams evaluate and choose the best materials and manufacturing methods based on appearance, strength, weight, and real-world use, ensuring every prop is optimized for both on-set performance and production efficiency.
Capabilities include:
- Flexible resins and elastomers for props requiring movement, impact resistance, or lifelike textures
- High-strength engineering materials for durable, functional, and hero-level components
- Lightweight polymers for ergonomic designs and stunt-safe applications
- Multi-material and hybrid builds to balance realism, strength, and weight
- Advanced 3D printing technologies (SLA, SLS, FDM, PolyJet) for precision and rapid turnaround
- CNC machining and traditional fabrication for high-accuracy, production-ready parts
- Post-processing and finishing, including sanding, painting, coating, and weathering for camera-ready realism
- Design-for-manufacture guidance to ensure efficient production and scalability
