Add a Bit of Fun to Your Next Cookout

For those gathering with family and friends this weekend to enjoy a nice cookout in the beautiful weather, you may want to use this fun way of keeping your utensils lifted off outdoor surfaces. 

We designed this hippo themed utensil rest using the powerful sub-d modeler in the browser app, xShape, on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. It was like modeling with digital clay. Once the shape was complete, we were able to 3D print it without any need for supports. 

If you would like to print out your own set of hippo rests, the files are available here for download. We hope you get inspired to make fun utensil rests of your own. 

If you prefer, you can down the zip file below which includes STL and STEP formats. 

Click on the play button to view this model in 3D. You can also download the native xShape file from the dropdown menu in the upper right corner of the thumbnail. 

Here's a quick video on the inspiration and the design process: https://youtube.com/shorts/8eFAn0iQK1k?feature=share
