WORLD'S FIRST 3D PRINTING PEN FEATURED ON KICKSTARTER

摘要

From the files of how-to-make-a-million-bucks-in-two-days on the crowdfunding-website Kickstarter, we bring you the 3Doodler, advertised as the world's first 3D printing pen. The prototype featured on the Kickstarter website shows how the pen, about 7 inches long, uses ABS plastic, commonly used with conventional 3D printers, to "draw" three-dimensional plastic objects or models. How about a 3D version of the Eiffel Tower? Why yes, say Maxwell Bogue (a Purdue University computer science graduate) and Peter Dilworth (a former Massachusetts Institute of Technology Leg Laboratory staffer). The founders of Boston-based Wobble Works, the self-described "emergent toy company," invented the pen-a handheld 3D printer used to print the French landmark pictured.
