Piston Pens CNC machined carbon fibre pens

Petrol heads could also be fascinated about new CNC machined carbon fibre pens aptly named the Piston Pens created by MechatronCNC based mostly within the United Kingdom. During the final 10 years the corporate has constructed machines and it’s expertise has grown constructing machine elements. Now Brandon Richards has taken to Kickstarter to create a spread of carbon fibre pens full with engine cylinder stands within the type of a 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder, V6,V8,V10,V12 engines. Specially priced early bird pledges at the moment are accessible for the fascinating challenge from roughly $38 or £28 (relying on present alternate charges).

CNC machined carbon fibre pens

“The Idea came from the love of CNC machining. Being a petrol head it was obvious that I needed to merge these two interests. The overall design represents an exploded view of an highly tuned race engine where the pistons have exploded through the head. This fictional creative vision makes for a nice display piece and functional desk tool. I originally designed Piston pens to challenge my design and machining skills. Though-out the project I have learned how to design for manufacture using my own equipment that I built. Knowing my capabilities I engineered the engine block in a way that I could easily produce good results consistently. 3D modeling CAD/CAM was critical to projects success and allowed me to check functionality before making the real components. Designed and made in the UK.”

If the Piston Pens crowd funding marketing campaign efficiently raises its required pledge purpose and manufacturing progresses easily, worldwide delivery is anticipated to happen someday round November 2022. To study extra concerning the Piston Pens carbon fibre pens challenge play the promotional video under.

“The pens are uniquely made from Carbon fibre tube which has great durability, this is then capped with anodised aluminium end pieces. Backers can choose Silver, blue, red and green anodised pen parts which is free to all rewards. When we reach our stretch goals bulk discounts allow us to improve our products for the same price. This means the higher our campaign goes the more we can give back to our backers.”

“After machining each part is washed and debured. The next step was to test the assembly which went together as expected thanks to the 3d modeling I did earlier in the process. The image below shows a cylinder head after 26 machining operations using multiple tools and fixture setups to reorientate the part.”
