For the past few years, technology has taken great steps on turning creative thoughts into reality. First, 3D printers came out, which let you design anything you want from your computer and print it in 3D. From this, people have been creating all kinds of 3D printing, including organs with Bio 3D printing. But a new way of turning dreams into reality has been developed: 3D pens. 3D pens let you draw anything you want on air. Many models have come out with unique and innovative 3D pens, including bio pens to assist physicians during surgeries. The goal is to create a model that’s affordable, easy to use and that can improve learning experiences, along with showing a new side of the world of engineering.
