A 3D pen is a handheld device that allows users to draw, trace, or create three-dimensional objects in real-time. It functions by extruding heated plastic filament which quickly cools and solidifies, enabling users to build up layers and shapes in space. Similar to a handheld 3D printer, it provides a more tactile and intuitive approach to creating 3D models compared to traditional methods.
