3D Print Your Sketches With Doodle3D

The talk of the tech town is all about 3D printing. From iPhone cases to guns to full-sized houses, it feels like we've already come close to seeing it all. But what about sketches?

A new drawing tool called Doodle3D aims to bring your playful sketches to real, three-dimensional life. The device syncs with your iPad and plugs directly into your 3D printer. After sketching a basic line drawing, like a word or stick figure, your blueprints are sent to the printer via Doodle3D's WiFi box. Easy as that.

Granted, the creations are pretty simple -- the variety of art tools appears to be similar to those from Draw Something. But if you're only looking to print basic shapes and doodles, it might be something worth checking out.

The Netherlands-based group behind the project launched a Kickstarter campaign earlier in the week. The project has already raised more than $64,000, surpassing the original goal of $50,000. There are seven days remaining to donate.
