What is the skeletal animation technique?
《How does skeletal animation technology reshape modern toy manufacturing? ——Fengyi Technology’s OEM Innovation Solution》
From electronic dolls to interactive educational products, reveal how skeletal animation brings toys to life
I. Industry pain points: limitations of traditional toys
- Market decline for static toys (global interactive toy market grows 12.3% annually)
- Consumer demand upgrade:
- 62% of parents prefer to buy educational toys that can interact dynamically (NPD Group data)
- Retailers require products to have IP derivative content development potential
II. Analysis of skeletal animation technology
1. Technical essence
“Like installing a digital nervous system for toys, achieving simulated motion through joint drive”
- Core components:

C --> D[silicone epidermis]
2. Comparison with traditional mechanical structure
Dimension | Skeleton animation solution | Traditional gear structure |
---|---|---|
Action complexity | 15+ degrees of freedom | 3-5 fixed actions |
Maintenance cost | Modular replacement | Overall scrap rate↑30% |
IP development | Support digital content derivatives | Only physical interaction |
