THE POWER FIST!
By Matt Passmore
LUMA-iD were approached by REWIND.co to help create an epic prop for the upcoming video game, 'Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III' by SEGA and Relic Entertainment. The Power Fist is worn by the Space Marines in the future fantasy world and gives the wearer superhuman punching power. We were tasked with creating the 3D CAD models as well as the prototyping logistics and managed a rapid week and a half turnaround, from receiving the internal components to sending all the files to the manufacturers.
Check out the video below to see how the Power Fist was born.

The size of the fist alone made this challenging. With each finger being metal machined individually and the main casing almost reaching the limits of the 3D printer. We were thrilled to be part of such an exciting project and would love to be again, so if you've got a similar creation in the pipeline don't hesitate to get in touch!
Early CAD of the Power Fist. The main housing is taking shape and the fingers have been positioned.
The fist sub-assembly, with M5 screw holes in place.
The finished Power Fist CAD! The main housing is transparent to show all of the components inside.
It's always difficult to tell how big something is going to be in CAD...
The fist part being assembled! The palm of the hand is 3D printed using nylon.
Those fingers look amazing in aluminium!
First round of testing underway!
Painting beings!
What's the best of resizing breeze blocks? Punching through them of course!
The finished Power Fist, in all it's destructive glory!
