About Creator Ballpoint Pen

Ang Creator ay isang modular na ballpoint pen na sinasariling ikinakabit ng gumagamit. Ang hungkag na katawang metal nito ay naglalantad sa mga turnilyo, muwelye, at mekanikal na istruktura sa loob. Ang mga panlabas na accessory na may iba't ibang kulay, hugis, at materyales ay nagkakabit-kabit sa pamamagitan ng isang unibersal na interface, kaya't ang mga bahagi ay nagkakasya tulad ng building blocks at nagiging personalisado ang bawat panulat. Ang katawan ay ganap na gawa sa metal. Maliban sa mga refill at muwelye, karamihan sa mga bahagi ay natatapos sa iisang proseso lamang, at ang mga materyales ay lubos na na-recycle, na nagpapababa ng paggamit ng enerhiya at pag-aaksaya ng materyales.

Dimensions & Packaging: L:145mm * W:13.3mm * H:13.3mm
Weight:27.5g
Tags: DIY, modular, mechanical structure, hollowed-out pen body, all-metal pen body, 100% recyclable, hexagonal shape
Production Technology: There are more than 50 production processes of traditional metal pens. Therefore, we have optimized the manufacturing process and reduced the production processes by more than 70%. The pen body is all made of metal. Except refills and springs, most parts are completed by only one process, and their materials can be recycled 100%, which greatly reduce energy consumption and resource waste.
Design Challenge: Main challenge: Fast and free assembly as well as adjustable height is realized in DIY process for users.
Solutions: All modular parts adopt universal interfaces, which ensures that users will successfully complete assembly whether interfaces are matching or not in the process. Moreover, the universal interface module greatly improves production efficiency and reduces waste of resources. It still remains 30% of infinite possibilities and expandability after assembly.
Research: Research type: To transform stationery into cultural and creative products.
Research goal: Users can assemble the product in person and enjoy the process.
Market research: Online research and professional research company data
Social impact: It creates a brand-new stationery form, which is personalized and beautiful. And the optimization of process reduces resources waste and energy consumption, which contributes to environment preservation.
Inspiration: Design draws inspiration from water element from the nature, which is hexagonal and can form various shapes in a sub-zero crystallization state. Aesthetics of mechanical structure is integrated, and the shape of the pen is formed finally.
Project Duration: The project finished in September 2022 in Dongguan city and came into the market in Asia, Europe, and North America in September 2022.
Operation Flow: It is a modular pen that can be assembled by users. They can buy multiple styles and freely assemble accessories and the pen into different styles according to their needs and preferences, so they can fully enjoy DIY in the process.
