A custom-fabricated device, typically composed of plastic polymers, designed to securely cradle a mobile communication device within an automobile. These holders are produced using additive manufacturing techniques, building the object layer by layer from a digital design. For example, a driver might employ one to maintain hands-free access to navigation or communication applications.
The proliferation of these items is driven by the need for safer in-vehicle mobile phone usage. They offer a personalized solution, potentially more ergonomic and visually appealing than generic, mass-produced alternatives. Their development and adoption reflect a broader trend towards customized consumer goods and the increasing accessibility of additive manufacturing technology for personal and small-scale production.
