About 3D Buildmesh Pluma

Pinagsasama ang mga elemento ng istrakturang arkitektural ng linya sa simetriya, pag-uulit, ritmo at proporsyon, na inspirado ng kilalang gusali, ang 30 St Mary Ax, London ng England, ginawa gamit ang teknolohiya ng additive manufacturing sa 316 medical grade stainless steel na materyales, perpektong sumusuporta sa eleganteng katawan ng pluma na hugis-lamak nang walang anumang suportang materyales. Nakakatipid ito sa proseso ng post-processing, mas kaunting paggamit ng materyales, gastos at oras ng produksyon, customization at maliit na sukat ng produksyon, ginagawa ang pluma na magaan, maginhawa at marilag na may kahalagahan, lumilikha ng ordinaryong pluma na naging pambihira.

Data Collection: market research of usage scenario, Target user and writing behavior study, Pesona, Customer Journey.
Research tools: Solid Works, Rhino, Keyshot.
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.
