333D intends to create a 3D printer based on CreoPop, the world's first 3D pen to print photopolymer resins.

In collaboration with the CreoPop brand, two 3D printers will be developed at once. One of them will use the mechanics of conventional FDM printers, but apply CreoPop photopolymer resins instead of molten plastic. The second will be a compact model without a specialized extruder: instead of a print head, the most common CreoPop 3D pen will be attached to the device.

“333D considers education and creativity to be its main target areas. The 845 3D printer was even designed specifically for school use, with a platform large enough to fit all the students in the classroom at the same time. We see the collaboration with CreoPop as an opportunity to create something unique for the target market, ”said Frank Pertail, 333D Managing Director.

CreoPop is officially registered in Singapore, however, the Tomsk team led by Dmitry Starodubtsev and Igor Kovalev is behind the development of an unusual 3D pen. In 2013, young entrepreneurs founded the innovative company “DI-Group”, the first product of which was an apparatus for minting souvenir coins.

The CreoPop 3D pen entered the market in 2015, becoming the first and so far the only pen using photopolymer resins instead of filaments. The main advantage of this approach can be considered user safety, since the design of the device lacks hot elements, and the materials themselves practically do not heat up. The main disadvantage is relatively high, although not prohibitive cost of the device itself and consumables.
