How do 3D Pens Work?
3D pens are designed with a technology that can heat up plastic and expel it in a molten form thatís easily solidified on contact to air. These plastic, (or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene for some pens) have natural properties that make it possible for them to be structured into petite filaments. The filaments are then fed into the pen from one end, heated through the pens heating mechanism, and then extruded from the other end. Different models utilize different heating mechanism, from rechargeable batteries to plugged power outlets. You use the molten material oozed out to form solid materials as itís easily cooled by air or in some models you can harden the material using UV light.
