Drawings Come to Life With 3Doodler

Turning doodles into 3-D objects
神奇繪圖筆畫出3D實物   - 將塗鴉化為3D立體實物
In their spare time millions enjoy doodling, which, up till no, has usually involved drawing on paper. But now, folks can try doodling in the air, thanks to 3Doodler, the world's first 3-D printing pen! As one draws hot plastic comes out of the pen, cools and becomes a solid strand.

Would-be artists can draw flat forms or separate parts and then join them together. Lifting the pen up into the air adds a strand that can stand on its own! Created by toy and robotics company wobbleWorks, this pen is quite different from a 3-D printer.

For example, this pen requires no computers or image files, and it can be used to create anything a person can dream up. How about a bicycle or a bird? Or what about a miniature Eiffel tower? The 3Doodler website features these and other examples of 3Doodles!

Initial interest in 3Doodler has been extraordinary. In the first 3D hours of the 3Doodler Kichsatrter campaign. WobbleWorks raised more than US$500,000 o make the product a reality! Now, with more than US$2 million in support, WobbleWorks plans on shipping the finished version of 3Doodler in late 2013. Get your drawing hand ready!
