LIX is the latest competitor in the field of portable 3D printing. Launched just a few hours ago on Kickstarter, the developers say the super-compact design is smaller than any other pen on the market and can even be powered by electricity from a USB port. After you turn it on, the LIX takes less than a minute to warm up and is ready to start creating vertical illustrations. Via LIX:

LIX 3D printing pen has similar function as 3D printers. Melts and cools colored plastic, allowing you to create rigid, freestanding structures. Lix has a hot end nozzle that is powered from the USB 3.0 port. ABS/PLA plastic filament feeds into the top end of the Lix Pen. The filament passes through a patented mechanism as it moves through the pen to finally reach the hot end nozzle which melts and cools it. An interesting fact about this lightweight designed pen is that these structures can be formed into any shape imaginable.

The LIX pen has a much sleeker shape and finer tip than similar devices we’ve seen like the 3Doodler, though it’s a bit more expensive. See more on their website. (via Mashable)
