Dimension-Recording Rulers

The Length Stamp Incorporates Numbered Dials to Imprint Measured Values

— December 3, 2013 — Art & Design
Typically, when one wishes to know the dimensions of a particular object or area, he will intend to record his findings. The Length Stamp eliminates the necessity of a paper and pencil, providing the user with a built-in ink stamp that can display and imprint the exact value quantified.

Bae Jaeman, Kwak Yongseok, Jeon Kyungsoo and Ro Heehun collaborated on this handy toolbox item, winning them a 2013 Red Dot Design Award. While it is an analog mechanism, it certainly improves the current disjointed method of measuring.

To use the Length Stamp, pull out the tape measure and align it with the object in question. Stop the strip when it matches the extent of the object, and the numbered wheels can roll to show the precise distance in millimeters. Impress this onto your hand, onto the item directly, or onto a recording sheet.

2. Stationery and Office Supplies - The potential for stationery and office supplies manufacturers to create dimension-recording tools that integrate seamlessly into office environments, reducing the need for separate measuring devices.
3. Home Improvement and Construction - Disruptive innovation opportunities for the home improvement and construction industries to adopt dimension-recording tools that simplify and improve measurement processes, leading to increased efficiency and accuracy.
