About Creator Hemijska olovka

Creator je modularna hemijska olovka koju korisnici sami sastavljaju. Izdubljeno metalno kućište otkriva vijke, opruge i mehaničku strukturu unutra. Vanjski dodaci u različitim bojama, oblicima i materijalima povezuju se putem univerzalnog interfejsa, tako da dijelovi pristaju zajedno poput kockica za slaganje i svaka olovka postaje personalizovana. Kućište je u potpunosti izrađeno od metala. Osim uložaka i opruga, većina dijelova se izrađuje u jednom proizvodnom procesu, a materijali su u potpunosti reciklažni, što smanjuje potrošnju energije i otpad materijala.
