First 3D pen!

The 3Doodle pen is a device that’ll allow the user to draw in three dimensional space.

Invented by WobbleWorks – a startup founded two years ago by Maxwell Bogue and Peter Dilworth to “create fun, inspiring and innovative products that combine amusing motion and animation with great industrial design at a low cost” – the 3Doodler is described by its creators as “the world’s first and only 3D Printing Pen.”

It’s essentially a hand-held miniature 3D printer that produces a thin line that solidifies almost immediately thanks to an in-built fan that cools the ABS plastic as it’s being “drawn” in space. The 3Doodler “draws in the air or on surfaces,” WobbleWorks explains, adding that it is also “compact and easy to use, and requires no software or computers. You just plug it into a power socket and can start drawing anything within minutes.” The invention is an obvious must-have for those interested in 3D printing but don’t want to draft blueprints, and instead just print things out in real time.
