3D Printing Process of Making a Smartphone Holder

Abstract

Smartphones have become a vital gadget that cannot be separated from human daily life. Various features provided on smartphones can attract attention, especially for children. Children today are very familiar with the smartphone. However, when they are using the smartphone, they often cannot manage the distance of eyes and the smartphone. Therefore, a smartphone holder that can control the distance can be a solution to this problem. The smartphone is designed with the flexibility to arrange the length of the stand depending on user needs. This paper presents the process of making the smartphone holder using a 3D printer. Through product development phase like design creation, digital simulation, computer aided design-computer aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM), and the production process of the holder with 3D printer, the smartphone holder is produced.
