The 3Doodler Pen is a handheld 3D printing tool that lets students draw and build in three dimensions using heated plastic filament.
It’s easy to use, safe for classroom settings, and great for exploring creativity, design, and spatial thinking. Students can sketch in the air, reinforce geometry concepts, or prototype models—no software or screens required.

Tips
Use lesson plans for inspiration – 3Doodler offers free, standards-based lessons (e.g. geometry snowmen, bubble wands, community builds) suitable for K–12.
Explain the extrusion process – Demonstrate how plastic extrudes and cools instantly, helping students understand the mechanics.
Prototype designs quickly – Encourage students to doodle mini prototypes before building larger projects.
Start with stencils or tutorials – Helps beginners focus on form before freehand designing.
Supervise younger students – Even the cool-tip models (Start+) need some guidance to ensure safety.
