About Creator Хемијска оловка

Creator је модуларна хемијска оловка коју корисници сами састављају. Издубљено метално тело открива завртње, опруге и механичку структуру у унутрашњости. Спољашњи додаци различитих боја, облика и материјала повезују се преко универзалног интерфејса, тако да делови пристају један уз други попут коцкица за слагање, чинећи сваку оловку јединственом и личном. Тело је у потпуности израђено од метала. Осим улошака и опруга, већина делова се израђује у једном производном процесу, а материјали су у потпуности рециклабилни, што смањује потрошњу енергије и стварање отпадног материјала.
