Folded PenCup

this folded pen cup was developed by exploring simple curved foldings with HyLite® by 3A Composites. The composite material is usually milled on both sides of a sheet to have a flexible fold but here it resulted perfectly for a fixed, one-side-milled folding in terms of stiffness, material stability and bendability.
