We make use of extensibility of matter-element to exchange the descriptions of design problems and solutions into creative fields. The concrete result includes, evaluate the differences and benefits between Su-Field modeling procedure and matter-element modeling procedure. Assess possibility and advantage to combine construction of symbolic system in Su-Field model and the transformation and extension of matter-elements. Introducing concept extension of matter-element into symbolic developments to derive out more creative solutions. An innovative design case, staple free stapler, successfully demonstrates that the proposed design process is feasible and efficient. Key-Words: TRIZ, Su-Field, Matter-Element, Extension theory.
