A device designed to hold reading material upright, facilitating hands-free reading or display, produced via additive manufacturing. These items are often constructed from plastic filaments using a desktop fabrication machine, allowing for customization in size, shape, and design. An example could be a lightweight, foldable structure created to support a cookbook on a kitchen counter.
The growing accessibility of personal fabrication technologies has democratized the creation of customized household goods. This has enabled the design and production of items tailored to specific needs or aesthetics. The ability to rapidly prototype and iterate designs contributes to efficient problem-solving and the development of functional objects. This trend reflects a broader movement towards personalized manufacturing and localized production.
