3DSimo’s 7-in-1 Multipro device for artists, hobbyists & makers

In recent years, 3D pens have allowed hobbyists, makers, artists and children to reach a new level of creativity. One of the players of this market is the European manufacturer, 3Dsimo. The company entered the market back in 2014, and has since been supplying it with multifunctional workshop tools that can fit in your pocket. These tools are multifunctional in the sense that they can replace a 3D printer, soldering station, plastic welder, resistance wire cutter and much more.

3D drawing tools can be compared to the Fused Deposition Modeling process in 3D printing. In other words, with it you can use almost any filament on the market, from ABS, PLA, HiPS, Fluorescent, etc., to create an object. The main difference is that it does not require any 3D modeling skills. As you know, one of the key steps in the 3D printing workflow is turning your 3D model into an STL file, which is then turned into a G-code file before being sent to the 3D printer. Of course, with a 3D pen this step is not necessary, which makes the tool accessible to many, including children.
