About Music Pen Cap Pindop

Music Pen Cap is in set fan pindopen foar de wetterferve-pinnen dy't brûkt wurde troch bern fan sân oant tolve jier. Elke dop jout in oare toan, sadat de tolve doppen tegearre in ienfâldige toanljedder foarmje. De klinkende punten ferskille yn tsjokte, en it oerflak is kleure en ôfwurke mei in lekje fernis. In ferheege punt makket it mooglik om de dop mei de tomme derop te drukken of derôf te heljen. It ûntwerp is derop rjochte om it kwytreitsjen fan pindoppen te ferminderjen en de nijsgjirrigens foar it skilderjen libben te hâlden. Lytse oantallen kinne printe wurde yn fotogefoelich hars, wylst gruttere oplagen goaten wurde kinne yn polypropileen of ABS-plastik.

Production Technology: In the design of the pen cap, we use a special color material with different thickness.Colour the surface of the Pen Cap and add a coat of varnish.Small quantities can be processed using 3D printing techniques using photosensitive resin materials. When mass production is determined, PP or ABS plastic materials can be used for batch production using molds.
Design Challenge: The process of turning thinking into design.
Research: I observe and think about the way people use products in their life, and try to find the behavior or emotional transition between people subconsciously. Then, I will have subliminal emotional reinforcement conducive to product experience, and bring people suitable and novel products.I believe that products designed in accordance with people's subconscious can not only meet people's use habits, but also make people feel that such novel experience can resonate.
Inspiration: Pen and the pen cap are always used together, "Tumbler" pen cap combines the design of scale through visual sense, tactile sensation and auditory sense to redefine a new way of communication, to let people rethink the meaning of "paint". The tip of the cap will jut out, so you can use your thumb to push it with less energy and you can also easily unload or put on it. In the design of the pen cap, we use a special color material with different thickness.
Project Duration: The project began in Macau in January 2019 and was completed in Macau in April 2019.
Operation Flow: The Music Pen Cap is arranged according to the different collocation of colors. When the pencil lightly crosses,some different tones of crisp sweet music will come out. According to the different thickness of the pronunciation point, 12 pens will have 12 different caps with different colors. The "music" pen cap can not only exercise the player's patience,stimulating their auditory development, developing their perception of music, and maintaining their interest in painting.
