From Concept to Creation

Because we wanted to involve you in the entire process of ‘concept to creation’ from start to finish, we are tracking the movements of the Rhino, our first fan designed toy. We were thrilled at the success of our very first Design Your Own Dildo competition and as soon as the battle lines were ‘drawn’ the response was overwhelming. Indeed, we received more than 300 entries, which we subsequently shortlisted to 4 and put up for a public vote. A Twitter poll determined the winner between the 2 finalists.

3D Printing the Rhino

Although our designs are primarily sculpted from clay, we used 3D print technology for the Rhino so that we could replicate the design as closely as possible. This printing process is absolutely mesmerising and, as such, we captured it on film so you could see witness it for yourself (above). Watching the design come to life before your very eyes is an impressive sight to behold! Our sculptors then painstakingly sanded each of the 3 prints so they were flawlessly smooth and in the perfect condition for making moulds.

Final Product

Finally, the Rhino was released into the wild and made a home for itself on the Sinnovator website. There it resides and attracts the gaze of all those wishing to witness it in its natural habitat and gaze at its magnificence! Supremely strong and having expertly evolved and adapted to its environment, it is certainly not an endangered species. Its dermal armour and big, powerful body can make it an intimidating animal; however, it really is a gentle giant and certainly means you no harm. However, you should only approach the large Rhino if you have encountered similar sized beasts previously!

A note from the designer: “Inspired by rhinos with their dermal armour. Thick like a rhino too.”
