Topic: 3D Printing Pens For Schools?

Over the past few months, 3D Pens are starting to come out. The first few seemed...dull. I saw CreoPop yesterday and although it's still running a crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo. If it can do what it claims it'll be the best to date. It's the first wireless 3D pen, first to use healthier materials and with colored ink it could be awesome for kids and schools...what do you think?

Re: 3D Printing Pens For Schools?

no, because 3D printing pens are incredibly niche in application.

Wire-bending is a thing, but many schools had 'unnecessary' things like art class underfunded or defunded a long time ago. :'(

Hi everyone,

According to me 3D pens are good idea for school children because as we know by 3D pen,we can create anything from small to big and whatever we imagine. And every child has different imagination power and if they will use 3D pens then we would get idea how they are think and what are their talent and everybody can explore their own creativity.

OK what about hazards like UV light in eyes or causing skin cancers and when the kids eat the material like they did paste long ago? not really kid safe still... this tech is used in dentistry already but not buy children or inexperienced users.
next we will see Prisoners using them to make knives and keys etc. but hey its all helping them become rehabilitated right? ;^)
