Cokreeate uses ColorJet Tech for First-Ever 3D-Printed Comic Book Cover

Wednesday 19. March 2014 - Comic books have been providing gasps, villains and near-death rescues for over ninety years. In that time, the book itself has remained mostly the same. But the folks at California-based Cokreeate may have just pioneered something that could lead to a new wave of collectables: the 3D-printed comic book cover.

Cue singing angels in the ears of comic book lovers everywhere.
For the first go at a 3D printed comic book cover, Cokreeate chose issue #9 of “Brimstone and the Borderhounds,” written by professional wrestler, comic book writer and friend of Cokreeate, Brimstone. After completing the 3D design work of the cover, Cokreeate used our ProJet 460Plus to do the final print in full color. (Left: The original cover and Cokreeate’s 3D-printed cover.)
Cokreeate helps people capture memories and moments by turning 3D scans into personalized, ColorJet-printed figurines. The company also creates full-color photograph extrusions.
