What can you do with 3D Simo's pens?

You can also solder with their specialized soldering tool. It works just as well as a purpose-built soldering iron and allows you to melt the solder and complete electrical connections with ease. 

You can also use the soldering tool to make last-minute adjustments to your 3D plastic sculptures by melting and remolding the plastic.
