3Doodler, the world's first 3D printing pen, has smashed its Kickstarter goal by over 3,685 percent as of 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 21, raising over $1 Million in funding from the internet community in less than two days (44 hours). The team set an original target of $30,000 and reached its goal within hours of launching on Tuesday this week at 3 a.m. EST.
3Doodler is the world's first 3D printing pen that allows you to draw in mid-air and create physical versions of your Doodles and ideas. The project is on course to become 2013's biggest Kickstarter enterprise. At the current rate of growth 3Doodler should hit the Top 10 Kickstarter projects ever next week.
"We initially debated whether we should shoot for $20,000 or $30,000 so we're completely overwhelmed by the response from the Internet, hitting a million dollars in just two days. We were prepared though, just in case, and had arranged all the pieces in place to scale rapidly, even this rapidly. We're hearing the message loud and clear - people all around the world love Doodling and want to back our invention," said Peter Dilworth, Co-Founder & CEO of WobbleWorks.
Priced from just $75 for backers on Kickstarter, the 3Doodler has been created by serial inventors WobbleWorks to make 3D creation available to the masses. It has been designed to be compact and easy to use; you simply plug the 3Doodler into a power socket and start drawing anything in 3D within minutes. Whether freestyle 3D sketching, or tracing shapes from templates to make larger architectural structures, anything is possible.
The team has received numerous requests for items to be Doodled and can today reveal their next Kickstarter Thank You. Thanks to popular demand, if the team hits $2 million they will create a very special 3D designed Harlem Shake video to thank the internet community for all their support.
