Drawing in the air
February 20, 2013 in General, News
Technology moves on all the time and there is no reason drawing shouldn’t be part of change. For evidence, the crowd sourced fundraising platform Kickstarter is currently hosting a novel adaptation of the 3D printing technology from a startup called WobbbleWorks. You can watch a short video about what their 3D pen can do below.
It looks fun.

Oh, dear! Not exactly the high tech it likes to proclaim itself as. With a tip that can reach 270 degrees Celsius, it’s a cross between a cake icer and a soldering iron, and for that reason, I’m out.

It’s sculptural cartooning. What is not to like*.

No pressure sensitivity, no undo facility, and every chance of burning a hole clean through one’s flexor digitorum profundus. And yes, I do know what rhetorical means…

It’s a prototype Steve, like an idea drawing. Where you can explore the possibiities of something that might be new.

If they have to tell you it’s not a toy, then it’s a toy, and a bloody dangerous one at that. It’s a gun that melts and squeezes quick-setting plastic so you can make pseudo matchstick models, Matt. 3D? So’s Meccano.

Wouldn’t mind one though. Can you use the plastic again ?

Optimist!
