3D涂鸦笔:全球首款3D打印笔

What is it？ 它是什么？

Have you ever just wished you could lift your pen off the paper and see your drawing become a real three dimensional object？ Well now you can！

3Doodler is the world’s first and only 3D Printing Pen. Using ABS plastic （the material used by many 3D printers）， 3Doodler draws in the air or on surfaces. It’s compact and easy to use， and requires no software or computers. You just plug it into a power socket and can start drawing anything within minutes.

Oh， and it’s also the most affordable way to 3D print by a long way！ With 3Doodler we’re making fun 3D creation accessible to everyone.

有没有想过也许有一天你的笔一离开画纸，你的画能变成真正的3D模型？现在你的愿望成真了！

3D涂鸦笔是全球首款也是唯一的3D打印笔。采用ABS塑料（其用于许多3D打印机），3D涂鸦笔能在空中或物体表面作画。它外观小巧，使用方便，不借助任何软件或电脑。你只需插上电源，几分钟内便可开始作画。

当然，相对于3D打印机来说，它更经济实惠。拥有3D涂鸦笔，每个人都能做出3D物体来。

How does it work？ 它如何工作？

If you can scribble， trace or wave a finger in the air you can use a 3Doodler.

As 3Doodler draws， it extrudes heated plastic， which quickly cools and solidifies into a strong stable structure. This allows you to build an infinite variety of shapes and items with ease！ Most people will instantly be able to trace objects on paper， and after only a few hours of practice you will be able to make far more intricate objects. 3Doodler is a brand new way of creating objects and artistic works.

如果你会涂鸦，会临摹，会在空中挥舞手指，你就一定会使用3D涂鸦笔。

用3D涂鸦笔作画时，它会挤出受热的塑料笔墨，笔墨迅速冷却变成坚硬稳固的结构。这样便能轻而易举地制作各种形状和物件了！大多数人在刚使用时都能直接描画纸上的东西，而只需几小时就能制作更为复杂的物体。3D涂鸦笔是创造物品和艺术品的新方式。

What can I make with 3Doodler？

我能用3D涂鸦笔制作什么？

There are many ways 3Doodler can be used. 3Doodler can be created as flat forms and peeled off a piece of paper as freestyle 3D objects， or in separate parts， ready to be joined together using the 3Doodler. The creative opportunities are endless， including：

Basic 3D shapes and 3D models

Jewellery， pendants and hanging ornaments

Decorative art and fridge magnets

Personalization of everyday objects

And much much more...

3D涂鸦笔有许多用处。它打印出的东西既可以呈现平面图形又能脱离平面成为立体图形，又或者用3D涂鸦笔可以将不同的部分接在一起。展示创意的机会是无限的，包括制作：

传统的3D图形和模型

珠宝，吊坠和挂饰物

装饰品和冰箱贴

日常的个性化物品

等等等等

3Doodler Components & Accessories 3D涂鸦笔的构成

The pen： The 3Doodler pen is 180mm by 24mm. The pen weighs less than 200 grams or 7 ounces （the weight of a typical apple）， although the exact weight will depend on the final shell specifications once in production. 3Doodler is not a toy for children （it’s recommended for ages above 12）. While the plastic extruded from 3Doodler is safe to touch once it has left the pen， the pen itself has a metal tip that can get as hot as 270℃.

笔：3D涂鸦笔长180毫米，直径为24毫米。笔重不会超过200克或7盎司（重量和一个苹果差不多），但实际重量会根据出厂后的外壳规格而定。3D涂鸦笔并不是给孩子们的玩具（建议12岁以上使用）。虽然涂鸦笔挤压出的塑料是可安全触摸的，但笔尖处温度可高达270摄氏度。

The Ink （ie ABS/PLA plastic）： The 3Doodler uses 3mm ABS or PLA plastic as its “ink”—just like a 3D printer. Each 3Doodler comes with at least one bag of plastic tubes； each bag will contain ten 1ft strands of plastic tubes； and each 1ft strand produces approximately 11ft of 3Doodling fun. ABS is one of the most common plastics around. PLA is what we call a “bioplastic”. It’s made from corn， is biodegradable and has a lower melting temperature than ABS. 3Doodler plastic has different prices vary from $30 to $55.

墨水（即ABS/PLA塑料）：3D涂鸦笔使用ABS或PLA塑料当作“墨水”——同3D打印机一样。每支3D涂鸦笔配有一包墨水，每包墨水有十支1英尺长的塑料管；每支可创作大约11英尺的3D作品。ABS是最常见的塑料之一。PLA被称为“生物塑料”。它来自玉米，可降解并且熔点比ABS低。涂鸦墨水有不同的价格，从33美元到55美元不等。
