Last week, BusinessWeek’s Steve Cooper reportedon how the arrival of new production technology was reinvigorating the otherwise stagnate vibrator industry. Cooper highlighted how Canada’s Standard Innovation is able to rapidly prototype sex toys using 3d printers, a silicon-molding studio, and a collection of 400 odd mannequins with “anatomically correct internal organs” to test its newest concepts.

He may have a point. The Web is abuzz with stories about how it’s possible to 3D print for extreme demands such as regrowing human ears, so why not monetize the technology to disrupt an industry that’s proven commercially successful?
"...[A} collection of 400 odd mannequins with 'anatomically correct internal organs'...”?
Wow. That must have been a fascinating group of purchase orders.
