Amazing 3D printing pen 'draws' plastic objects in thin air

Tired of writing with traditional pen and paper? Then you'll want to pay attention to Lix's device.

Their 3D printing pen enables you to write and draw in the air by melting plastic.This means at the touch of a button you can create freestanding objects in a matter of seconds, reports the Daily Mail.

London-based Lix are currently seeking fundraising for their pen on Kickstarter.

It is by no means the first 3D-printing pen, but it is the first to actually resemble the shape and size of a regular pen.

The pen is 6.45in (16.3 cm) long, 0.55in (1.4 cm) in diameter and weighs 34.9 grams.
It is made of aluminium and comes in black or grey.

Inside the pen it heats plastic to 150°C (300°F), which is then pushed out through the nib as a hot liquid at the touch of a button.

The plastic used is a plant-based filament, although it can also use stronger forms of plastic.
When the liquid is exposed to air it solidifies into shapes.
