Parts details


The working mechanism was studied and understood and an alternate mechanism was explored.
​

The alternate mechanism achieved the same function of stapling two pieces of paper together while taking a unique approach.

A magnetically actuated system was designed to achieve stapling action.

A truly spring-less ergonomic design.
