Compact folding phone stand developed

Compact folding phone stand developed for CNC machining and production.

The challenge was not creating a stand that holds a phone. The challenge was integrating a stable support structure, magnetic retention, folding mechanism, and clean industrial design into a compact aluminum body only 9 mm thick when closed.

The design was developed around CNC manufacturing constraints, assembly simplicity, durability, and everyday usability rather than concept rendering alone.

Projects like this sit at the intersection of product design, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing readiness.
