Smallest Pen for 3D-drawing

People have actually prepared to draw in air. We gesturing while talking and trying to illustrate his words, depicting various figures hands. 3D-knobs allow you to turn these gestures into tangible, visible objects. The idea of ​​such a device is not new, but the current implementation is still far from perfect. Recently on Kickstarter, a new project 3D-pen. LIX Pen small and consumes little energy.

In air the material hardens quickly, and that allows you to create three-dimensional contour objects.
