A customizable, on-demand reading support fabricated through additive manufacturing offers a blend of practicality and personalization. These supports can range from simple, utilitarian designs to complex, aesthetically pleasing creations, tailored to specific book sizes, reading angles, and even decorative preferences. An example would be a stand designed to hold a heavy textbook open at a specific angle for hands-free reading.
Such supports offer advantages over traditional book holders due to their adaptability. The ability to create bespoke designs addresses individual ergonomic needs, accommodates unusual book dimensions, and allows integration with other desk accessories. This personalized approach also promotes accessibility for individuals with specific physical requirements. Historically, book stands have been limited in adjustability and material. Additive manufacturing overcomes these limitations, offering a wider array of design possibilities and materials, from durable plastics to lightweight metals.
