What is the best material for animatronic dinosaur production?
Animatronic dinosaur production has three core materials, the first is the steel frame modeling, the second is the sponge shape, the third is the silica gel epidermis. These three kinds of materials are the most used, but also related to the animatronic of dinosaur quality materials, then how to choose the simulation of the dinosaur production of three core materials?
The first choice of steel, many varieties of steel, according to the different sections, steel is generally divided into profiles, plates, tubes. Steel is made by pressure processing, according to the steel processing temperature, can be divided into cold processing and thermal processing two. We use hot-processed tubes and profiles to simulate the animatronic dinosaur steel frame modeling, using the hot-processed steel can effectively increase the life of animatronic dinosaur structure.
The second choice of Sponge shape, the sponge is a porous material, with good elasticity. There are three types of other synthetic sponges, namely low-density polyether sponge, polyvinyl alcohol sponge, and polyester sponge. Because the animatronic dinosaurs need higher elasticity, so the exterior modeling generally choose low-density polyether sponge, this sponge artificial imitation dinosaur texture more muscular.
The third choice of animatronic Dinosaur Skin production, the general use of silicone production, silica gel is a high active adsorption material, is a non-crystalline material, insoluble in water and any solvent, non-toxic tasteless, has a higher mechanical strength. Silica gel According to its pore size is divided into macroporous silica gel, coarse-hole silica gel, B-type silica gel, fine-pore silica gel. General production animatronic dinosaur skin selection of B-type silica gel, this silicone has a good tensile, animatronic dinosaur movement will not crack.
