Gadgets, Tech Gadgets Mritunjai Chandra

CreoPop, the first of its kind 3-D pen uses no hot parts, no melting plastics. This miniaturised 3-D printer gives its users a free hand use feature, allowing them to create incredible and amazing pieces of art. With wide range of applications, this pen is the perfect tool for designing and letting out one’s creativity.

How CreoPop works?

Unlike the existing pens which pull in a plastic filament and heat it up to 200-250C and push it out the hot end, CreoPop solidifies liquid resin using UV light. A tiny UV light source hits the resin as it leaves the pen. No heat. No straggly filaments tangled up in your arms. It is USB-powered, so you only have a cable to deal with.

Mechanism behind CreoPop — solidification of polymer by UV light

Public reaction to CreoPop

The response to CreoPop is surprisingly remarkable. Launched initially to generate funds to carry on with the project, CreoPop surpassed the expectations by miles. It was fully funded within a day of its launch by the support from backers in 44 countries around the world, and several major brands asking for OEM versions of the CreoPop pen. The huge success owed to “Indigogo’s” crowd-funding campaign.
