A New Kind of Multi-Tool – Foam Cutter, Solderer, & Manual 3D Printer – Hand Held!

3dsimobigGeeks, this is a multi-tool unlike any you’ve ever seen. It combines lots of different gadgets into one hand-held tool that you can control with an app – the 3Dsimo. This is not just a tool for artsy folks – you can solder with it, then change attachments to cut foam, then use another head on this pen to draw in mid-air, akin to the doodle-pen. This campaign, by San Francisco Kickstarters, Sean Gaddis and David Paskevic, manages to put a lot of power into your hand in a way that couldn’t be done before. Foam cutting happens at one temperature, 3D printing at another temperature, burning at another, and soldering at yet another temperature – making such objects separate by logical necessity. Thanks to the integrated app, you can select what project you wish to perform so that your 3Dsimo will operate at the proper temperature for your needs.

There are still about 3 weeks left on this Kickstarter project, and as of this writing, there were still some early bird rewards to claim for early investors. You can follow 3Dsimo on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest.
