The London-based firm is currently seeking funds for its pen on Kickstarter.
The pen is 6.45 inches long and 0.55 inches in diameter and weighs 34.9 grams. It is made of aluminium and comes in black or grey.
Inside the pen, plastic is heated to 150°C (300°F), and then pushed out through the nib as a hot liquid at the touch of a button.
The plastic used is a plant-based filament, although it can also use stronger forms of plastic. When the liquid is exposed to air, it solidifies into shapes.
