Seems like a waste of energy to burn thhe wood from the pencil?

Great idea though using graphite

Wow! i’d like to see this working

It’s cool idea!! my respect to author

Really cool stuff! i hope it gets implemented soon

This concept is great. I don’t know anybody who likes buying cartridges, so your support would be immediate. Ink will stay the standard for legal docs and such, but for office proofs and doc checking this would be ideal. Great inspiration.

I like the idea, however what’s the point in producing an ergonomic pencil, with wood and glue and stickers and then transporting it to the user so that it is then shoved into a printer… might as well just have a print cartridge with graphite in it…

AMAZING….

GREAT IDEA. I have suggestion ….. first of all use graphite tubes instead of pencils. Second have a switch will go between the graphic bar and pencil for when you run out of bars. May not even need a switch.

Awesome. A release date ?

drives me nuts when people dont explain things in coherent English.

cool concept… but its method for handling carbon, wood, and eraser remains is inefficient, and lacks any clear description as to how the ‘lead’ and wood are separated. How would you make a mistake if the printer prints what you have on the screen? to many questions. Seems like a concept taken right of out a product design class.

Why does every one freaking ask ‘When will this be available’ EARTH TO CAPTAIN OBVIOUS _CONCEPT ART CREATED BY STUDENTS_ If you can understand what exactly the artists says it does, good be job having you! It will never be available…

Great idea.

But in order to print, I have to buy pencils and erasers to use and this machine. I need to pay too much money and will make much more waste. So, I think this is not very useful. sorry~

Hm. It sounds like a great idea conceptually but the mechanics of it still sounds faulty to me.

Firstly is the technology. I know no technology that enables the use of printing with lead, will the idea be similar to heat transfer?

Second is the idea of printer erasing. The diagram shows us how it will be done but have they erased a paper before? How easily does the debris remove itself? It doesn’t drop easily, I find myself having to wipe it down.

Third is the use of lead, actually. Ground up lead you say? I would like to know the type of receptacle used to contain it and how it will be used to gather enough ‘ink’ to print.

Lovely presentation, a bit more information and proof of research is a preference that way my mind is assuaged that it is a sound/achievable concept.

These conceptual designs always look a hundred times cooler than any actual product. It’s just a shame coolness often coincides with impracticality: a printer that curves upward would be absurd.

The impossible

I think that’s really cool. And I would definitely feel better about printing if it’s just using my useless old pencils. Awesome idea.

Great Idea..
Graphite printing..WOW
Good for onetime use docs/ref.docs.

But not very convinced with the idea of erasing it.

hmmm..
nice design, but i wonder about following aspects:
1) why burn the wood and dont use the ashes as ink-dust, too?
2) eraser as an follow up product to keep people buying, like printer-ink?
3) one paper manually put into printer? no follow up papers? just a concept of a single sheet printing, erasing, printing circle?
4) other aspects as mentioned in posts. mechanical basics of dust falling and keeping in cartridges and…

super simple idea, may be useful also for people with children and need of text-priters.
no, drawing material isnt in concept, even burned…

People do some research! you may lean some thing, like I don’t know…trees are a renewable resource so there is no reason to save one, most out oxygen comes from the oceans’ vegetation.
oh and wood and led plus electrical heat equals fire!

Yeah Mr.Cool!

The rest of you, it is a simple design because IT DOESN’T WORK. This is dumb and if it were real would never sell enough at market. Maybe a neat novelty but eraser dust? Burning wood? to separate? Was the metal eraser part addressed? There is no cord so I will assume it uses the metal to power itself through a molten process. Oh, and by the way we have had pen and pencil plotters since, what the 50′s?

This is a stupid idea

Instead of wooden pencil why not just use graphite leads which we have in stationary for those pen like looking pencils I don’t know their names but they look like pen and we can fill them with leads. Anyway the idea does look good but needs lots of improvement.

Saving trees?
how do you think Pencils are made?
damn….

wow! its great. But is it true, can we get this product

How innovative. This is a great idea for recycling and less waste considering the weekly amount of pencil stubs my children bring home from school. Seems to me a “must have”.

@ Mr. Cool

Yes, trees and forests may certainly be renewable, but not with the rate that we’re currently using them. Ethical reasons aside, there are practical reasons for conservation of forests, such as potential medicinal chemicals that we have yet to discover.

The printer itself seems like an interesting concept, but if it’s mainly used for pencil stubs, I can’t imagine that it’ll get much mileage for each stub – especially since people probably don’t run through new pencils quickly enough for it to use only the graphite. I prefer mechanical pencils though, so I can’t be a fair judge for that. Perhaps a backup system using ink could fit in there somewhere.

The eraser system seems rather superfluous, given that most people would prefer their things to be printed out on a clean, crisp sheet of paper. A lot of paper gets wrinkled, bent, and all sorts of other things; the printer eraser isn’t likely to be much better than the erasers I’m using manually, and even those still leave some marks.

Overall, interesting concept, but more or less completely impractical.

Awesome idea.

wow, this is really HI-TEC

That concept look very interesting. Do you have a video guide demonstrated this action?

So… this can be implemented with a plotter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plotter
Those have been around for years and you can small ones pretty cheap or make them. There’s even well developed open source software to run them.

This is just a new spin on an old idea.

So… this isn’t really a new concept at all.
Plotters have been around for ages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plotter
The way I see it, that’s all this really is – except this proposes a process of removing graphite from a stub pencil which wont be cost effective.

There are plotters around that are designed to work with pencils. You can even make one yourself if you want with a couple of stepper motors to accurately control the x and y axes and you’d only need a solenoid or servo to drop the tip of the pencil/pen. There is even well developed open source software for this sort of thing.

Just a new ‘green’ spin on an old idea.

grt….hope i can hv it

great idea, would love to see it working

Parabéns!
é disso que nosso mundo precisa. Algo que traga esperança para a natureza.
\o/

I’ve got the money to back this idea. Let’s go, let’s go. I want to make this pencil grinding printer a reality. If the inventor is serious, get in touch with me pronto. Otherwise, I’m just going to take this idea and run with it. Try and sue me. I’m rich.

Awesome! Nice design and awesome idea…I love it…

When This printer will be available in Indian Market. And what will be the cost. Please inform me immediately.

How much it will be costly.??

very good idea. let me know where to by

Extra i love it !!!! So nice

I fail to see how this saves trees. You’re still using paper and wood pencils. In fact, you’ll use MORE wood pencils.
This attempt at “greenwashing” is pathetic. The best way to save the planet is to stop making a bunch of plastic crap that nobody needs!

Nice pictures bad idea

hi i have some questions regarding this pencil printer
1. what will be the estimated cost of this printer?
2. when will it be available in the market?

Excellent idea,,, really impressed, wants to see it in real world

Hi

Great and appreciatable!

I would like to know the price quotation and availabilty of the Product in the market especially in Chennai, Tamilnadu, India..

what a great idea and ecnomical about home users but any one tell me is paper printer is avalable in market and where i can buy it and how much price of it any one tell me on dream_boy20072001@yahoo.com

I must say the invention is simple, and brilliant in the same time, unfortunately the site doesn’t mention how to request for quotations, who are contact personnel for ordering this product.

stunning!

Good stuff which is enviornmental friendly and it saves me a lot of money especially for those who work for programming which needs a graph for a refernece (just for a hour).

I wanna see it works in Hong Kong and wanna to buy it.

It looks awesome, and it looks cool. The concept is interesting. But the fact that you use pencils, while better than ink cartridges, seems like only a temporary solution. Also this would really only be for home use right? Thumbs up for the design though!

This site always has designs that are obviously by art students who have no idea how or even if their product would work

They just make something pretty looking and everybody goes "coo thats AMAZING why aren't they everywhere?"

BECAUSE THEY ARE IMPRACTICAL IN REAL LIFE

and to add insult to injury they tend to slap the word "green" on there and just SAY it would save energy or could be recycled, without actually working out if things are feasible.

Sorry to say it but these designs are invariably by someone Chinese with a very poor grasp of the English language. God help us if the future designers of the world want to make this shiny iPod crap rather than something useful or clever

When will this be available to buy?

When will this be available

When will this be available

Get a life people, the subject is the printer, get focused.

Is this printer available yet. It’s a great idea!

It’s appropriate time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to be happy. I have read this submit and if I could I wish to suggest you some interesting issues or suggestions. Maybe you could write subsequent articles regarding this article. I desire to learn more issues approximately it!

This printer is very creative product. It’s a great idea!
How it is better than others ink cartridges please tell us

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

I love the concept! Though, there should be an *option* for using a graphite cartridge instead of needing a pencil every time. I would use this at all times if I could.

I agree. And this design also lacks a paper tray. I wouldn’t want to have to feed paper into it every time I wanted to print something.

It would be much better if it recuperated eraser shavings and reused them to erase again! this way wastes eraser instead of paper :/ still not perfect xP

This is amazing. Stop ragging on about stupid English skills and talk about the damn idea.

So, will this great idea be brought to life?

Interesting idea but I wonder how one plans to make the graphite stick to the paper. By electrostatic force and heat like with toner, it won’t work I guess. By inkjet printing? It would need a carrier, some sort of fluid. And expecting that the graphite sticks to the surface after the solution has dried would be another problem.

And instead of wasting a pencil (and wood), one could simply buy graphite in powder or fill the printer with a solid block of graphite that would be grinded by the machine.

When is this coming to the electronics stores? Want one.

I’m skeptical. Pretty keen to see one in action though!

A creative product for sure but personally I doubt we’ll ever see one in action as it’s a touch wasteful.

Very interested…

Are you sure it will work? At least like a toy.

i would love this if it ever was made. the concept is well done, of course from a logical point there are some issues but nonetheless it is a nice idea. let me just point out that there is this thing that a lot of people have never heard of or have ever used, it’s call a carbon paper typewriter…now i know that it’s not exactly cutting edge but, back in the day, all you needed was to type directly into this magic machine exactly what you wanted and it would use carbon paper to(get this)print onto paper using graphite and was in fact eraseable. the downside, having to purchase carbon paper. sadly this is practically extinct and is only used by us old folks, such a shame…

I love new gadgets.
this is really neat idea.
the problem is I haven’t used a real pencil in decades.
I would have to buy pencils to be able to use this new idea.

Is this item open to purchase yet?

Excellent idea but… lead?! Lead pencils are made of graphite, not lead.
And it needs to be sure if wood can be burned easily and safely. This idea must be polished, but I think its a very good concept. Congratulations!

great thing . my first project is on this new thing.i got full marks in it

I would love to buy one. I would like to know when it’s in stores.

I would love to buy one. I would like to know when it’s in stores. Also where does the paper go?

1) the ashes is a different form of carbon and doesn’t print as well as graphite
2) People buy erasers all the time
3) There has to be some storage space, say, below the printer or an attachment. It’s useful for erasing previous documents.
4) Some erasers don’t have as much dust, define “keeping in cartriges”.

What a great concept! – I’m sure this would prove incredibly popular. Would love to hear more if it comes into development.

So what happens if the pencil needs sharpening does the printer sharpen it? Also, what happen if you put a pen in it so it looks better than pencil?

Seems like a good idea in theory, but I don’t think it will save anything. I don’t print anything unless I need to, and with the intention to keep it. It seems about a green as the water-dissolvable cell phone. Kind of a bad idea.

Brilliant idea… Why not… I hope to see this product in market . I would definitely buy one and use . Forget those sceptics …

I would be very interested in one of these for comic art purposes since it would make cross page/ computer composition a lot easier, since comic artists have to deliver their art in pencil which makes a lot of the fiddly bits a million times more tricky than most people would believe.

Brilliant concept for a printer and I especially like that it would be able to erase letters on the paper and that it is environment friendly.

this invention is truely helpful for all of us …..

Awesome idea, I don’t think it will replace an inkjet printer but as a concept it looks great

Curious. Why not just retrofit an old pen jet plotter with pencils?

hella. less. expensive.

Really amazing printers to print any type of design. Can you please tell me from where, I can buy this product??

You obviously don’t print that much. Printers and computers have issues communicating all the time and print the wrong thing.
