This is INSANE! A pen that draws 3D sculptures from WobbleWorks

Date

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone – sorry to plunder your most famous work W.H. Auden but this needs a little quiet. Boston-based firm WobbleWorks have launched a Kickstarter to raise funds for the 3Doodler, billed as the world’s first 3D printing pen. This is by far one of the most interesting, exciting developments in this realm I’ve seen for ages and, for anyone else familiar with early 1990s cartoon Penny Crayon, our dreams may be about to become a reality.
