The best 3D pens take your creations from 2D sketches on paper to fully realised 3D sculptures. Many use plastic, though there are some that can use other materials, to help artists old and young quickly build 3D models and sculptures.

Right now, we rate the MYNT3D Pro 3D Printing Pen as the best 3D pen overall, but I’ve researched and compared it against a wide range of other available options, considering factors like price, design and functionality.
