Adapters for makeup products using 3D printing technology: Assistive Makeup for people with reduced mobility

Assistive technology and 3D printing enable the creation of adapters for makeup products, making them more accessible to people with reduced mobility. The lack of adaptive devices in this area limits the autonomy of these users, impacting on their self-esteem and well-being. This study proposed the development of ergonomic supports using three-dimensional modeling and additive manufacturing, allowing better fit and handling of brushes, lipsticks, and other cosmetics. Initial tests indicated that PLA materials can provide greater resistance and stability, while design adjustments improve usability. Inclusion in the beauty market goes beyond aesthetics, fostering greater independence. Styling through 3D printing allows solutions tailored to individual needs, reducing costs and expanding access. This study emphasizes the importance of inclusive design and paves the way for new innovations in assistive technology, enhancing accessibility, autonomy, and quality of life.
