Production Technology

Production Technology: Additive Manufacturing/Metal 3D Printing Material: 316L Medical Grade Stainless Steel Coating: Environmental Protection Electroplating complied to RoHS

Design Challenge

Apply the additive technology or 3D printing in stainless steel material to realize this project itself is already a challenge. The 3D modelling mode is quite different from others in PLA or ABS, every line and shape built have to be above 45 degree, the least support generate the better in final product, it takes least post-processing waste especially made in 316L medical grade stainless steel. we succeed in making this metal pen without any support, zero production waste.

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.
