Incredible $99 handheld 3D printer coming soon to a store near you By Zach Epstein on Jan 7, 2014
3Doodler Launch
3D printing has been a huge deal for businesses for some time now, but consumers are just beginning to get a taste of this amazing new technology thanks to a new wave of more affordable devices. MakerBot announced a very cool new consumer-grade 3D printer during this year’s International Consumer Electronics Show, but it still costs $1,375, which means it’s probably only a good buy for people with a real need for 3D model printing. But those looking to simply dabble with the exciting emerging tech will soon have a nearby option in the form of WobbleWorks’ 3Doodler.
WobbleWorks on Tuesday announced the upcoming wider availability of its critically acclaimed $99 handheld 3D printer, which allows users to draw 3D objects in the air by hand. The 3Doodler, which debuted last year following a massive crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, will soon be available for purchase in Brookstone stores and the MoMA Store. It will also be available online from both retailers, as well as from ThinkGeek.
The device will begin reaching online retailers’ virtual shelves by the end of January. WobbleWorks’ full press release follows below along with a video showing the 3Doodler in action.
