We always see large animatronic dinosaurs in some scenic amusement parks. In addition to sighing the vivid and domineering of the dinosaur models, tourists are also very curious about its touch. It feels soft and fleshy, but most of us do not know what material is the skin of the animatronic dinosaurs?
If we want to know what material it is, we first need to start with the function and use of the dinosaur models. Almost all dinosaurs will make vivid movements after being powered on. Since they can move, it means that the model must have a soft body, not a rigid object. The use of dinosaurs is also an outdoor environment, and it needs to resist wind and sun, so the quality must also be reliable.
In order to make the skin feel soft and fleshy, after we have made the steel frame structure and placed the motor, we will use a thick layer of high-density sponge to wrap the steel frame to simulate the muscles. At the same time, the sponge has high plasticity, so it can better shape the muscles of dinosaurs.
In order to achieve the effect of resisting wind and sun in the outdoor environment, we will implant a layer of elastic net on the outside of the sponge. At this time, the production of animatronic dinosaurs is coming to an end, but it still needs to be treated with waterproof and sunscreen. Therefore, we will evenly apply the silicone glue on the surface 3 times, and each time has a certain proportion, such as waterproof layer, sunscreen layer, color-fixing layer and so on.
In general, the materials for the animatronic dinosaur skin are sponge and silicone glue. Two seemingly common and unremarkable materials can be made into such wonderful works of art under the skillful hands of artisans. The finished dinosaur models can not only be placed outdoors for a long time without damage, but also maintain the color for a long time, but we must pay attention to maintenance, once the skin is damaged, it will not be worth the loss.
