operates by extruding a heated plastic
thread made of either acrylonitrile
butadiene styrene (“ABS”) or
polylactic acid (“PLA”), which cools
almost instantly into a solid structure,
allowing for the free-hand creation of
three-dimensional objects by hand.
The plastic thread is heated in the
body of the pen and extruded through
the nozzle at the front.

Evaporative air cooler - weighing
27 kg (Dimension (L X W X H) : 510
mm X 685 mm X 1445 mm), with four
wheels for moving.
The products cool the air through
water evaporation.
They incorporate a water-evaporating
system in which a recirculating pump
continuously draws water from a tank
and distributes the water equitably to
the cooling pads through a water
distributor.
The water on the cooling pads
evaporates, lowering the temperature
of the air.
A motor-driven blower (fan) expels air
into the room.
