Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pencils, and in particular relates to a method for manufacturing a pencil convex point. Background Art

[0002] Traditional pencil designs usually use a smooth cylindrical surface, which has some problems when holding the pen. First, the smooth surface can easily cause finger fatigue and slippage, especially when writing or drawing for a long time. Second, the smooth surface lacks sufficient friction, making the pen grip unstable and easily affecting the accuracy and fluency of writing or drawing. In addition, the traditional pencil design cannot be personalized according to the user's pen holding habits and cannot meet the needs of different users.

[0003] To address the above issues, some improved pencil designs use surface textures or grooves. However, these designs are often not comfortable enough and are easily worn out during writing or drawing. The texture or groove design may cause excessive friction between the fingers and the pencil, causing pain or discomfort to the fingers. In addition, these designs are usually not personalized according to the user's pen-holding habits and cannot meet the needs of different users. Summary of the invention
