Some of the dinosaur lovers are trying to make a dinosaur suit for themselves. But, making a dinosaur costume is not a simple work for people.
In fact, there is a industrial chain of dinosaur costume manufacturing. Nobody can make a high quality without the material and technology provided by the industrial chain.
Today, I&#;d like to share how to make dinosaur costume.
We can not make any animatronics by imagination, to make a dinosaur suit, you need to have a draft at first. The draft usually designed by our art designers. Since we have made a lot of dinosaur suit we have a lot of dinosaur design as well.
Mechanical frame is the bones of a dinosaur costume. It keeps the suit sturdy, durable and flexible. Now, there are professional dinosaur frame manufacturers in Zigong city who only making dinosaur costume frames. All the mechanical devices will be installed on the steel frame only need to increase electric devices.
The body of dinosaur suit are making by this step. Firstly, workers will stick sponges on the frame then they will use sharp knifes sculpture sponges. Dinosaur appearance is preliminary shaping After patiently cutting. We need strictly sculpture it according to the dinosaurs&#; body proportion.
Muscle texture has a big influence on dinosaur appearance. To make realistic texture our artists will paint on the sponge with a big electric soldering iron. We don&#;t know who is the first one came up with this idea, but it does works well. The sponge will melt after touched high temperature electric iron. So making the texture is like painting on the sand.
Now, artists will change a smaller electric iron to make highly detailed dinosaur skin.
Sticking silk on sponge is the most important step to make high strength artificial dinosaur skin. The raw material that we use are silk stockings. Yes, you read that right, they are silk stockings. There isn&#;t another material in the market that has the advantage of elasticity, flexibility and thin all in one.
Workers will cut silk stockings to pieces and stick them on sponge. Then they will brush silicone rubber on it.
Making a new material dinosaur suit is adopts another technology since the step of skin details making. We use 3D print machine to make the skin details on the new material instead of sculpture it on sponge. Workers just need to stick the new skin on sponge now. The advantage is it&#;s more realistic, durable and lighter. Disadvantage is the cost will increase.
The last step is painting no material what material we use. Painting will directly influence the dinosaur&#;s appearance too. And, only experienced artists can finish this work perfectly. It takes years of practicing to gain the ability to paint on a dinosaur costume.
The company is the world’s best Dinosaur Costume Realistic supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.
It always needs days to finish the painting works. And it takes a week to let the paint dry.
Dinosaur teeth installation will be finished at the same time. There are two kinds of dinosaur teeth for choosing&#;hard one made with plastic material and soft one made with silicone rubber.
Dinosaur costumes will be packed after all the details was confirmed by our clients. Then we will ship it to the buyer. It will travel far away across the sea and meet the buyer 1 month later.
Our clients will share us feedback pictures and videos after they receive our products. All the suits are highly praised by our clients.

The animatronic dinosaur is an animatronic product made of steel frame and sponge silica gel. The transmission system is divided into electric and pneumatic. The two processes have different characteristics. Today, the manufacturer of animatronic dinosaur will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of an animatronic electric dinosaur and a pneumatic dinosaur!
Advantages: the electric dinosaur has been popular since the last century, and its production technology is very mature up to now. The motor is used to drive the connecting rod to control everybody&#;s movement of the dinosaur. Its advantages are simple to control, soft motor operation, many optional motor models, wiper motor, stepper motor, and other types are everywhere, and the motor life is long.
Disadvantages: the motors used in the animatronic of electric dinosaurs are generally arc-shaped movement, so the dinosaurs made have a disadvantage that the movement is not fierce enough, and the movement speed is not fast enough. And every dinosaur needs to connect a power cord, so the installation and layout are troublesome.
2. Animatronic of pneumatic Dinosaurs
Advantages: pneumatic dinosaur is popular in recent years, using the cylinder as control power, mainly linear motion. Using a solenoid valve to control the input and output of airflow, so as to achieve fast and slow operation speed, so the animatronic dinosaur has many advantages, especially the rapid and fierce action, which is beyond the reach of the electric dinosaur. And the principle of the cylinder is simple, the use and maintenance are simple. And the size can be large or small, which is not comparable to the motor.
Disadvantages: because the power of the animatronic pneumatic dinosaur is compressed air, there will be a thumping sound when the exhaust gas is running. If it is used in the indoor environment, the sound is very noisy and harsh. And because of the lagging development of pneumatic dinosaurs and the high cost of research and development of core technology, the price of animatronic pneumatic dinosaurs will generally be higher.
