After two and a half years of work, it’s about time! I had to involve professional 3D designers, use different types of resin to print a master and then deal with a company that specialises in mouldmaking, which made me a urethane copy. That’s a huge investment for a small project like SEX-ED +. But the real bonus is that I only worked with Quebec companies that were really enthusiastic about the project.
As a result, I’m able to produce around twenty models a month. You can request a quote via positivesexed.org. It costs around $1,000 + tax + shipping for one model. Please note that colours are randomly assigned.
Some distributors of anatomical models have expressed interest, but the norm is to take 40 to 50% just to act as a middleperson. I prefer to sell in small quantities at a price that is reasonable for both the buyer and me. The alternative would be for an anatomical model manufacturer to take care of production AND distribution, but I haven’t managed to get in touch with them (if you have an email in your drawers, please forward it).
At the moment, I’m trying to develop a transparent model to facilitate demos of different methods of contraception or hormone delivery. So I’ll be spending a few weeks in the workshop. Stay tuned…
