Have you ever just wished you could lift your pen off the paper and see your drawing become a real three dimensional object? Well now you can! 3Doodler is the world’s first and only 3D Printing Pen.

The 3Doodler is a 3D printing pen and it utilizes plastic thread made of either acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ("ABS") or polylactic acid ("PLA") that is melted and then cooled through a patented process while moving through the pen, which can then be used to made 3D objects by hand. It has been described as a glue gun for 3D printing because of how the plastic is extruded from the tip, with one foot of the plastic thread equaling "about 11 feet of moldable material".
