Focusing on sustainability, I designed this pen as part of my Solidworks class as a solution to the unnecessary disposal of plastic pens.

The concept product consists of a ballpoint pen and an ink refiller, that can refill the pen up to 10 times, making the same plastic body last for years.

I decided to design it for Pilot since this iconic pen-making company has built a legacy of innovation over its many years in the market.

Software used: SolidWorks, SolidWorks Visualize, Shapr3D, Procreate.

__ 2D AND 3D SKETCHING

Sketching on paper and digitally allowed me to narrow down my intentions with the design, while quick 3D modeling using Shapr3D on iPad allowed me to better vizualise and understand the possibilities of these ideas.
