Sex sells, and so does 3D printing. We have all become familiar with the various figurines and miniature statues companies have been producing via the wonders of 3D scanning and printing technologies. You are now able to get a miniature version of yourself 3D printed with extraordinary detail. There are actually several companies out there who are able to 3D scan you or even use 2D images to render a 3D model in your likeness. Then, through the magic of 3D printing, a replica of yourself can be fabricated within hours, usually out of a material such as sandstone.
As with any new idea or technology, it’s only a matter of time before the adult entertainment industry finds a way to monetize it. That’s just what one company based out of Berlin, Germany, called Digital Sports Innovation, has done. Recently they’ve launched an entire online marketplace, called Eroticart-Shop.com, filled with dozens of limited edition photo-realistic 3D printed figurines of some of the hottest erotic stars in the industry today.
With figurines of stars, nude or scantily clad, available starting at just $49 for a 1:15 scaled replica, and going up to $499 for a 1:5 scaled replica, there is a nude 3D print for everyone (well, maybe not everyone). The smallest of the 3D printed models are between 4 to 7 inches in height, while the largest are well over a foot tall, and can weight as much as 20 oz.
“You can now have your very own twin of me. […] You can play with me, you can touch me everywhere, and keep me with you,” stated adult star ‘PussyKat.’
Each figurine, which is printed using a polymer clay material in a powder-bed 3D printer and then hand finished by a trained artist, has an incredibly realistic look to it. Each figurine will arrive at your doorstep in a plain box that doesn’t scream, “I just bought a 3D model of a naked woman.” Within the box you will find a lavish gift box that includes a Certificate of Authenticity as well as care and safety instructions.
Erotic stars available in a variety of poses, with and without clothes on, include: Bonnie Rotten, Jessica Drake, Josy Black, Holly Showstrip, Micaela Schäfer, Natalie Hot, Pam Kiss, PussyKat, Roberta Gemma, Texas Patti, and Vivian Schmitt. The themes of the figurines range anywhere from ‘dominatrix’ to a ‘boxer’ to an ‘office girl,’ providing plenty of variety to those who are interested in this type of thing.
Whether you have already clicked over to the website to order your first 3D printed erotic model, or you have no interest in such a thing, there is little doubt that 3D printing has just entered the mainstream. Now the only question that remains is: when will the 1:1 scaled models become available?
Let us know your thoughts on these erotic 3D prints in the Eroticart-shop forum thread on 3DPB.com. Check out the video clip below – viewer discretion is advised, as there is nudity.
