3D DOODLER

Many new inventions have appeared during the past years. One of the newest invention is a 3Doodler.

The 3Doodler is a 3D pen which works by extruding heated plastic that cools almost instantly into a solid, stable structure, allowing for the free-hand creation of three-dimensional objects. The inventors of the 3Doodler, Maxwell Bogue and Peter Dilworth built the first prototype in early 2012. The 3Doodler has been described as a glue gun for 3D printing.

You’ll be able to draw up into the air and create anything you can think of, whether it be a lamp shade, an architectural model, decorations, or even jewelry.

To get going, we held the bottom down to get started then when the plastic 'ink' came out, pushed it down to paper on a flat surface to anchor our 3D sketch. Then it was up and away circling vertically and watching it set as we went along. As well as being quicker than 3D printers, you'll tend to create hollow objects rather than dense parts due to the nature of the 3Doodler process.

In January 2015, an improved version of the 3Doodler was introduced, and a second campaign yielded more than $1.5 million. Updates include an option for changing the size and shape of the tip, a smaller design, and a quieter fan.
