Mind Turns Into Matter With 3D Printing Pen

For years, the star of the arts and crafts scene has been the hot-glue gun. What child hasn’t cheered after plugging the gun in and watching plastic ooze out the nozzle? By-the-book types could neatly fuse appropriate things together, while the more abstract individuals among us could create wonderful mounds of goop.
It would appear, though, that the venerable hot-glue gun has been bested by a new, more audacious smoking-hot tool. Meet the 3Doodler, a pen that lets people draw three-dimensional objects. (Let that sink in for a moment.) It is, in essence, a novel play on 3D printing technology.
