Description
A 3D printing pen is a handheld device that allows users to create three-dimensional objects by extruding heated plastic filament. It operates similarly to a traditional pen but instead of ink, it uses melted plastic to draw in the air, allowing users to create freeform structures and designs.
Filaments are the raw materials used in 3D printing pens, typically made from materials like PLA (polylactic acid), ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), or PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol). These filaments come in various colors and diameters, allowing users to customize their creations. PLA is popular for its environmentally friendly properties, while ABS offers durability and flexibility. PETG combines the best of both worlds, offering strength and ease of use.
When using a 3D printing pen, users feed the filament into the pen, where it is heated and extruded through the nozzle. As the filament exits the pen, it quickly cools and solidifies, allowing users to build up layers and create intricate designs. 3D printing pens are commonly used for art projects, prototyping, and repairing objects.
