9/9/22 - 3D Printed Coconuts for the Zoo

3D Printing Enrichment Tools for Zoo Tamarins

We were contacted by a local zoo to help create enrichment items for their tamarin monkeys. Specifically, they needed seven custom 3D printed coconuts designed for play and feeding.

We printed:

• 3 in Chocolate Brown
• 3 in Light Brown
• 1 in White

The entire batch was produced in just 16 hours using our print farm. The zoo then coated each one with a food-safe resin so they could be safely used around the animals.

Why This Matters

At Parker 3D Prints, we love helping organizations bring creative, practical ideas to life — whether for competition, learning, or animal care. These kinds of collaborations show how 3D printing can support industries far beyond engineering.
