3D printing is taking the world by storm, and that storm is getting wetter, as 3D tech is finding its way into the bedroom.
3D printing or “additive manufacturing,” is a process of making three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file by using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is created, with each layer seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the object under construction.
The new world of 3D printed sex toys and erotic art made recent headlines when a 42-year-old Japanese woman, Megumi Igarashi, was arrested by Tokyo Metropolitan Police, for selling and distributing digital 3D printable design files of her own vagina.
A new company, Sex Shop 3D provides 3D designs to its customers, enabling them to print their own sex toys from the privacy of their own home, using a 3D printer. Customers simply choose the sex toy they would like to experience, download the file, and then 3D print it to enjoy their purchase.
“You see it every week in the news: a house was 3D printed or a plane flew with pieces coming out of a 3D printer,” explains a company spokesperson. “This new technology is advancing so quickly it is already entering our lives, and is about to enter our homes as the cost of 3D printers is falling all the time.”
