The size is just 15 x 15 x 22cm , even smaller than most 2D paper printers. Tinyboy is designed as an entry-level machine for students and newbies to learn 3D modelling technology and, ultimately, to encourage creative thinking. Parker Leung, the designer of the Tinyboy 3D printer, started the project in 2011, who was teaching Design and Technology in a secondary school. The first public demo was
at the COSCUP, Taiwan 2013. TinyBoy won the First prize of the Innovation of the Best Teaching tools of the 29th China Adolescents Science & Technology Innovation Contest, 2014 and the Best Innovation (Innovative Technology) Bronze Award of the Hong Kong ICT Awards 2015.
