Pens are cheap and made by the billion, but behind this seemingly simple tool is some very precise engineering. We CT scanned 3 different styles of pen to see how they work and to reflect on the sophisticated manufacturing needed in these everyday writing utensils. Take a peek at the scans here 👇

We're featured in the NYT Wirecutter! Annemarie Conte has been investigating why Ralph Nader's beloved felt tip pens seem to be running out of ink faster than before, and she approached us to see what industrial CT could reveal. We gained some insights into pen design along the way. 🖊️ Read the Wirecutter article here: https://lnkd.in/gvRfR3Dd
I’ve Become Absolutely Obsessed With Ralph Nader’s Pens. Join Me on My Continuing Investigation.
