4. Introduction Various writing materials ● Pencil ● Marker pen ● Ballpoint pen ● Writing brush etc... 3
5. Introduction ● There are various factors that affect the feeling of writing ex.) Fountain pen The pen tip can be made of various kinds of metals, that differently affect the writing sensation (e.g., smoothness, thickness, etc) Reproduce soft writing comfort 4
6. Introduction ● Chinese Calligraphy ○ Writing sensation changes depending on hair material ■ weasel hair ■ Pig hair ■ Horse tail hair There is no practical implementation of a pen that writes similarly to a brush 5

21. We decided to make a pen that can reproduce various levels of softness. Implementation(Spring Glass Pen) 20
22. Implementation(Spring Glass Pen) When thinking about a structure that can change softness, we have come up with a spring. We thought that spring is a suitable structure because it can change softness with a simple structure. 21
23. Implementation(Spring Glass Pen) We used a 3D printer to make various springs of elasticity. 22

32. Implementation(Spring Glass Pen) ● 3D Printer ○ Objet260 Connex3 ■ PolyJet 31
33. Implementation(Spring Glass Pen) 32
34. Implementation(Spring Glass Pen) A capillary phenomenon occurs in the groove of the pen tip, and it can actually be used for writing. We control writing comfort by controlling the parameters of spring (revolutions, height, section size) 33
35. Implementation(Spring Glass Pen) Joint type various springs in our booth Merit of joint type ● The material of the 3D printer is low cost, because it can be reworked for each part. ● By changing only the part of the spring, you can easily change the writing comfort 34

37. Spring Touch Pen Implementation(Spring Touch Pen) 36
38. Implementation(Spring Touch Pen) Recently, smartphones and tablet terminals are widely used. And many users are using stylus pens to operate tablet screens. When drawing digital pictures and letters, a stylus pen is necessary. 37
39. However, with a normal stylus pen, the actual feeling of writing is hard. We think that expression will be enriched by reproducing the soft touch of the brush. Implementation(Spring Touch Pen) 38
40. Implementation(Spring Touch Pen) By adding softness to the stylus pen, it feels like a brush. 39
41. Implementation(Spring Touch Pen) Like a glass pen, by adapting the structure of the spring to the pen, it creates softness 40

43. Implementation(Spring Touch Pen) UBS-0010LAg We used a conductive powder (UBS-0010 LAg) to use the pen with a tablet. By applying this conductive powder around the pen, it was possible to perform touch recognition with a terminal device such as a smartphone or a pen tablet 42

61. 1. It is difficult to make a spring glass pen with FDM. 2. Our pen can not reproduce various softness with a single pen. 3. Currently, it can not be made automatically according to personal taste. You just choose from among the pens we made. Discussion and Limitations 60
62. 4. The part holding the pen is limited to the part above the spring. People who hold a pen tip may be hard to use. Discussion and Limitations 61
63. 4. The part holding the pen is limited to the part above the spring. People who hold a pen tip may be hard to use. Discussion and Limitations above 62

67. 1. We proposed a method to make a practical pen by using 3D printer. 2. We propose a method that allows us to freely change pen softness by using the spring structure. Contributions 66
68. Please feel comfortable writing due to the difference in softness of spring, please visit and experience at our booth. S-259 Design Method of Digitally Fabricated Spring Glass Pen Kengo Tanaka Kohei Ogawa Tatsuya Minagawa Yoichi Ochiai 67
