Ergonomic 3D-Printed Pens

ADD APT is a "Superior Writing Tool" That is Incredibly Comfortable

— December 22, 2022 — Art & Design
ADD APT is a new generation of 3D-printed pens that "would inspire you to write as soon as you picked it up." Its form and function are dedicated to optimizing the comfort of its users. ADD APT's "unique, complex [and holisitic] design" was "only possible thanks to the latest advantages in 3D printing technology." The form combines elegance and minimalist style. The function of the 3D-printed pen, on the other hand, features a ribbed design that allows for a better grip. The designers made sure that ADD APT can adapt to someone's writing style and preference—whether they are right-handed or left-handed. Because it is a luxury pen, ADD APT also features two lid options—a rich 18k Gold and a Platinum.

The designers note that during the manufacturing process, they only use the "exact material required for each pen," meaning that they minimize waste.
