3Doodler

Just over 10 years ago, WobbleWorks took sketching into a new dimension when it launched a Kickstarter for its 3Doodler 3D-printing pen. Now the company is hoping to do the same for the world of baking with the ChefDoodler.

We've been following the WobbleWorks developments since the first Kickstarter in 2013, even raising our doodles off the page on a number of occasions. The professional-grade Pro+ went on sale at the end of October, and we've been giving it a whirl.

Since WobbleWorks first lifted doodles off the page to form 3d art, we've seen the company's 3D-printing pen make its way to the classroom and to professional designers. Now the firm is back with the world's most advanced professional-grade model.

3Doodler has launched a 3D printing pen specifically designed for pre-schoolers and above. The 3D Build & Play package comes with a low-heat drawing device, character and accessory molds and colorful backdrops to encourage learning through play.

​Almost 6 years after launching on Kickstarter, WobbleWorks has announced some new product lines, and an iOS/Android app that will have 3Doodlers creating 3D pen art directly on smartphone or tablet screens.​

As we discovered for ourselves during CES 2014, raising objects up from a flat surface using a 3D printing pen is not as easy as seasoned 3Doodlers make it look. Clearly, the earlier you start, the better. So WobbleWorks has launched educational creativity kits designed for use in schools.​

3Doodler is taking 3D pen printing into a more serious sphere, with a brand new Pro pen that aims to provide a more refined experience to professional users such as architects, engineers and fashion designers.

It’s been a couple of years since we first tried out the 3Doodler – a pen that lets you draw in three dimensions using molten plastic. Now the company is back with its latest offering – the 3Doodler Create, bringing improved reliability and some cool new design elements.

Expect to start seeing your kids’ drawings take on 3D form real soon. The 3Doodler Start is a new 3D pen designed specifically for kids. The pen uses a newly-developed eco-plastic, features no hot parts, and is compliant with toy safety standards. Gizmag recently played with one ahead of its launch.

When WobbleWorks announced its 3Doodler pen a couple of years ago, it caused quite a stir. The device allows users to sketch in three dimensions. Now, the company has announced an updated version. The 3Doodler 2.0 is said to be slimmer, lighter, quieter and easier to use.

The 3Doodler is a crowdfunding success story. The 3D drawing pen has now shipped to more than 100,000 customers in the last 11 months. Now WobbleWorks has launched a small range of accessories to enhance the user experience. There's a 3Doodler stand, a foot pedal and a set of nozzles.

During CES 2014, Gizmag had the chance to try out the 3Doodler, a "3D drawing pen" that uses plastic filament instead of ink to sketch inventive objects.
