ABSTRACT
The making phenomenon encompasses a broad range of recent developments in personal design and fabrication capabilities, such as 3D printing and related techniques. As part of this, research projects and do-it-yourself assistive technology efforts have employed making in relation to accessibility. In order to better understand the relationship between people with disabilities and making, we conducted a systematic literature review focused on design-related ACM conferences between January 2010 and December 2020, identifying 74 full research papers. This paper presents our findings based on analysis and categorization of the literature to help characterize and understand trends and coverage in research on making and accessibility.
