The only child-safe 3D pen designed with no hot parts. It is no mess and uses eco-friendly plastic to create endless 3D designs.
A 3Doodler 3D pen is a pen that extrudes heated or warm plastic from the pen’s nozzle. No need for any software, no difficult tech to master. Whatever you imagine, you can draw.
With a 3D pen you can draw a raised graphic on a piece of paper or any flat surface. But what makes a 3D pen truly unique is its ability to “draw” in mid-air, allowing you to instantly form 3D structures right in front of you, which you can pick up and hold in your hand.
“So you press button to make it come out and press button to stop again.” Girl aged 6
“I know I need to make another heart and attach a line to each side to make 3D.” Girl aged 8
The 3Doodler is perfect for encouraging creativity and developing spatial skills as children learn how to create their 3D design. Our testers were very eager to start using it, there was a good range of colours included and each colour slotted easily into the pen. We found the helpful guide easy to follow with step-by-step instructions for different designs.
Copying the included designs helped the children to follow steps in a process and the opportunity to make their own designs really promoted creativity. Making creations in 3D also teaches children about planning, building and spatial awareness which really benefits their STEM skills. There was a great sense of achievement when our testers finished each design, and they loved that it dried quickly so they could peel off and play with it straight away too!
