Lix was devised by Ismail Baran and Anton Suvorov in Belgium, and Delphine Wood in London. They Said..

• "We knew there were 3D pens were out there, but we wanted to make it much smaller," Wood told The Reg. "Each part has been completely redesigned from scratch to fit this particular product - all the parts are new and we designed the parts ourselves."
  
  
  
  
  
  HOW IT WORKS:

Lix has a hot-end nozzle that sees the exit of the plastic filament ABS/PLA, which is introduced in the upper extremity of Lix Pen. The filament goes through a patented mechanism while moving through the pen to finally reach the hot-end nozzle, which melts and cools it down.

Made from aluminium, the Lix Pen is not too dissimilar in size from your average biro, making it very portable. It's also powered by USB, so can be used in any country with the local adapters.
