24
April 2014: The 3Doodler, the world’s first 3D drawing pen, is
currently being showcased by Jumbo
Electronics at GITEX , Dubai World Trade Centre 23 –
26 April 2014, and will be launched in the retailer’s Mall of the
Emirates, Sharjah City Centre, Al Ain Mall and Dalma Mall outlets on
01 May 2014.
Virgin
Megastore will also launch the 3Doodler
in its Mall of the Emirates retail outlet on 01 May, followed by Al
Wahda Mall on 8th May, Dubai Mall on 15th May
and Mercato Mall on 23rd May.
The
3Doodler will also be available from DUCTAC
at Mall of the Emirates, and The
Hub, but release dates have not yet been confirmed.
Appealing
to hobbyists, artists, designers, architects and educational
establishments, 3Doodler allows the creation of amazing 3D objects
without the restrictions of complicated software or advanced artistic
abilities or design training. Limited only by the user’s
imagination, the 3Doodler requires no technical knowledge or specific
skills.
Already
launched in the USA and Europe, and soon in Singapore & Japan,
the UAE is the 5th country globally to introduce the pen
to market.
The 3Doodler was
developed by Peter Dilworth and Maxwell Bogue of WobbleWorks Inc.
Launched in February 2013 on the crowd
funding platform Kickstarter,
3Doodler became the 3rd highest funded technology project
of all time.
Using
patent pending technology it utilizes sticks made
of organic PLA or standard ABS plastic– all BPA free. The plastic
feedstock is melted inside the 3Doodler and solidifies instantly when
extruded from the tip, allowing users to create unique 3D objects by
hand. The plastic feedstock has a 10:1 ratio, meaning for every
inch placed inside the pen you get 10 inches of 3Doodles out of the
pen. The 3Doodler has a metal tip that reaches high temperatures and
which should not be touched, although the plastic extruded from
3Doodler is safe to touch almost immediately after leaving the pen.
Compact
and easy to use, the 3Doodler can be plugged into a power socket and
used immediately. This makes it ideal for freestyle 3D sketching,
tracing shapes from templates to make larger architectural
structures, the development of spatial skills for educational
purposes, or simply a fun tool for arts and crafts enthusiasts
wishing to bring 3D printing into the home.
A
creative design tool rather than a children’s toy, the 3Doodler can
be pre-ordered from PRECISE, or Jumbo Electronics from 23 – 26
April at GITEX 2014
