About 3D Buildmesh Vulpen

Deur argitektoniese struktuurelemente van lyn in simmetrie, herhaling, ritme en proporsie te integreer, wat geïnspireer is deur die ikoniese landmerk, die 30 St Mary Ax, Londen, Engeland, en vervaardig is deur additiewe vervaardigingstegnologie in 316 mediese graad vlekvrye staal materiaal, ondersteun dit die elegante penliggaam in maaswerk-vorm perfek sonder enige ondersteuningsmateriaal. Dit bespaar die na-verwerkingsproses, verminder materiaalverbruik, koste en produksietyd, maak aanpassing en kleinskaalse produksie moontlik, en gee die pen 'n liggewig, handige en verfynde kwaliteit met betekenis, wat die gewone pen buitengewoon maak.

Impact: Sustainability wise in fountain pen industry.
Result: Create the ordinary pen extraordinary.
Inspiration: Human civilization is inherited through writing, and fountain pens are the king of writing tools. In today's era of digitalization and plasticization, the art of writing shows a precious and noble taste in classic fountain pen. Inspired by the balance, symmetry, towering and huge, and line sense of the architectural aesthetic structure system from the world-renowned landmark - 30 St Mary Ax, London, England, to create an elegance and warmth writing tool with artistic value.
Project Duration: The project research started in January 2021 in Tainan University of Technology, the very first prototype was exhibited in Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Department Store in March 2021, later was redesigned and marketing planning by designer team lead by prof.Chen in acdesign associates International Co.,Ltd in July 2021, the final product was launched and succeed in zec-zec crowdfunding platform in November 2021.
Operation Flow: In human history, architecture has been a symbol of the progress and development of human civilization; and the pen on the man’s pocket neckline is a symbol of personal identity. In the rapid development of informatic age, when most of the people are get use to the digital gadgets, the art of writing shows a precious taste. This fountain pen served as the legacy in the digital era, and is of great significance to anyone when receive as special gift.
