You might call it a 3D print head on a stick.

I'm probably going to come across as a bit of an idiot, but actually I quite like the idea of this - depending on how quickly you can "draw" with this thing.

It strikes me as being potentially quite useful as a way to do 3D sketching for product (re)design - so modification of existing models rather than necessarily as a way of creating models from a blank sheet of paper.

Even better still if the models created can be recycled and the feed material reused.

That said, I think any use I'd make of it would come across like a drunk trying to play World of Goo.

Sounds pretty good but can't really see a long term market for it outside of the niche "concept moddelling". May be popular as a novelty in the short term though, I'd probably get one so long as it works as described / intended simply to make random 3d doodles like the photos above and to show it off to mates.
