Top 3 3D-printed creatures of 2017
In the past few years, characters like Puss in Boots, Penguin in Madagascar and Baymaxin Big Hero 6are all the rage. But none of them are as popular as our beloved Minions from Despicable Me!
When movie first came out, people are deeply attracted by those small, yellow creatures. They’re funny, smart and adorable, evil but loyal. “Fat”and short as they are, they even make their way to the fashion industry. Vogue invites them to be the coverstar and take stills with Brad Pitt.
Minions are welcomed in 3D printing industry too. The 3DPrinting world is full of models to discoverand among those models Minions are one of the top 10 models people like.

Speaking of yellow creatures, Pikachu is always my favorite. 2017 is the 20thanniversary of Pokemon and in order to honor this Nintendo cooperates with Japanese Railway Companyfor a specialevent.
In 50 subway stations, people can collect stamps in PokemonGo and get a full collection of every generation of Pikachu. They even prepare a Pikachu themed train full of Pikachu of all sizes and shapes for you to visit!
