About QR Coder Stamp

QR Coder is an electronic stamp that produces QR codes. The design combines the traditional seal with the QR code, which can carry a large amount of information. QR Coder connects to a mobile phone by Bluetooth after a long press of the top switch. The required code is edited on the phone and sent to the stamp, where the pattern is formed at the base. The body is made of ABS, a material that is impact resistant, scratch resistant, moisture proof and slow to conduct heat. QR Coder measures 2 by 2 by 5 centimeters.

Press Kit

Unique Properties: The most distinctive feature of this product is that it is an electronic QR code seal. It was inspired by traditional seals and QR codes. With the application of two-dimensional code more and more scenarios, and two-dimensional code can carry more information characteristics. This project is combined these features to create this design.
Dimensions & Packaging: length 2cm x Width 2cm x Height 5cm

Production Technology: Its base is made of ABS, and the heat conduction is slow enough to keep the user from feeling cold. ABS material has strong impact resistance, scratch resistance, dimensional stability, and other characteristics, at the same time both moisture-proof, corrosion resistance, easy processing, and other characteristics. ABS material is also very environmental protection, because of the use of environmental chemicals, so there is no toxicity and no smell, but also to electrical insulation, is a very safe material.
Design Challenge: This is an innovative design with a complex internal structure, and the machining qualification rate is the biggest challenge encountered by this project.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2020 in Milan and finished in February 2021 in that place, and was exhibited in China in February 2021.
Operation Flow: Long press the top switch when using it, and QR coder can connect to the mobile phone through Bluetooth. Edit the required QR code on the mobile phone, and then send the information to QR coder through Bluetooth function. The bottom of it generates a QR code like this. Finally, open the seal box and press QR coder forcefully to seal the two-dimensional code.
Research: QR code has the characteristics of large storage, high confidentiality, high tracking, strong damage resistance, large backup, low cost and so on. These characteristics are especially suitable for forms, security and confidentiality, tracking, license, inventory, data backup, etc. With the increasing application of two-dimensional code, the market of two-dimensional code peripheral products is also growing.
Inspiration: We got our inspiration from QR codes. QR coder is widely used in modern life. Our motivation was to look for other scenarios where QR codes could be used. We combine the two-dimensional code and the seal together, and realize the two-dimensional code seal through connecting Bluetooth.
