Who buys it
Remote workers and creators with unusual screens, ultrawides or standing-desk frames.
The product
Folded sheet metal or laser-cut plate stands, parameterised by screen width, weight and desk depth.
Why it fits vibe manufacturing
Furniture is a size problem. A parametric model fits any monitor width and shelf height without redesigning, and sheet metal is cheap to make in single units.
How to build it
- Choose three base designs and expose width, depth, height and load as parameters.
- Check bend radii and flange lengths against the shop's published rules.
- Prototype in plastic for fit, then in metal for strength.
- Sell the made-to-order stand with a clear lead-time promise.
- Add accessories (cable clips, shelves) as extra parameters.
The steps follow the 13-step playbook.

Risks and the boring part
Load-bearing products need honest weight limits and a physical test. Heavy parts make shipping a larger share of the price.
