We are living in the future.
As reported on Motherboard, Ikaros Kappler has created Dildo-Generator.com: a free, open-source tool that lets you design your own dildo.
What’s neat about this tool is that once you’ve got a design that you like, it can generate a file which can be used to 3D print a mold for your toy. Once you’ve got a mold, you can cast your toy in your preferred silicone:

I haven’t had time to go through the whole process, but I’m definitely looking forward to giving this a try!
This is fantastic! I have a 3D printer and I’ve been wanting to try making sex toys with it, but I have yet to become sufficiently proficient with any CAD or 3D modeling software to do that. This makes it almost trivially easy! My next steps after printing a design in ABS would be to smooth the surface with acetone vapor, make a negative mold, and cast the final product in silicone.
I know, right? :) Keep me posted on your progress! It would be great to hear from someone on how well the whole process works.
A dildo in solidworks or freecad does not require a lot of training. Draw a curve in a sketch, then use the ‘revolve’ feature. You can then export an STL for 3D printing.
