Face aux nombreux enjeux économiques et environnementaux, nos besoins de citoyens ne cessent d'évoluer. Nos modes de productions actuels dépassent les limites des ressources de Ia planète. Un changement de cap vers des innovations moins néfastes voire régénératrices est nécessaire. Depuis quelques années, toutes sortes d'initiatives entrepreneuriales (organisations, start-ups...) émergent dans l'espoir de mettre en place des solutions plus durables et plus accessibles. Pour ce faire, les structures publiques (administrations publiques, pouvoirs publics) — en charge des règlementations ainsi que des aides fournies à ces initiatives — sont dans le besoin de s'assurer de Ia pertinence de leurs services par rapport à l'essence même de leur raison d'être : être au service du citoyen.

During the last two decades, we have witnessed the spreading of shared spaces of work and production in different urban contexts, attracting attention from both policymakers and scholars in economic geography and urban studies. In particular, Fablabs are considered open workshops for grassroots innovation, which is enabled by the availability of shared digital fabrication machines and by the possibility to share knowledge with peers and work together on a project, either in person or online. People attending Fablabs are usually called Makers and, according to the discourse surrounding them, they are deemed the harbingers of a democratisation of production and part of a broader transformation of urban economies and work in the era of digital capitalism. The book is the result of a PhD research on Makers and Fablabs in Turin, mainly based on an ethnographic observation conducted at Fablab Torino. It offers an original theoretical framework inspired by the recent strand of post-structuralist economic geography, together with a reliance on ontological tenets coming from Actor-Network Theory and Science and Technology Studies. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the study is therefore of interest for scholars in different social sciences who study the reconfiguration of work and production in cities and digitally mediated economic transformations. The analysis unpacks the enactment of Making as a new form of work and production through three different conceptual foci – knowledge, materiality, and work. Notably, the inquiry looks at how Fablab Torino and the urban ‘Maker scene’ in Turin are performatively enacted through the entanglement between economic theories on the phenomenon with specific socio-technical arrangements aiming at making those economic theories true. The geographical relevance of the phenomenon is identified not in some static spatial configuration but, on the one hand, in the heterogeneous and emergent spatialities that emerge from individual practices of Making and, on the other, in the sociomaterial practices of organising that bring into being economic organisations such as Fablabs.

Through the today arrival of a lot of new disruptive technologies in the Defense sector, enterprises need to adapt their strategy, organization and information system in order to efficiently cope with the new challenges. Correlated with the 4.0 industry transition, the coming changes won’t miss to reach every dimension of those companies. One of the novelties that will extremely impact the business processes of companies is the additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D-printing. The exponential progresses that the 3D technologies have encountered since the last fifteen years induce new considerations about it in terms of production supports and concrete means of production. Of course, the metal additive manufacturing is the first one truly considered as mean of production in comparison with the plastic one. Still, both technological improvements let us rethink the way we manage digitalization, relocation, interconnectivity, client’s relations and, even, climate topics.
Considering all of this, the FN Herstal, the major actor of the light weapons’ market, has decided to start the transition by progressively implementing global changes into their businesses. The additive manufacturing has been introduced long time ago by the company into their activities. Today, two metal 3D-printing machines are helping managers to improve the “time to market” of products and more specifically the development cycles of new products.
As for other disruptive changes, internal resistances exist against AM and the continuously stricter client’s requirements let the only option to reinforce the potential virtuous circle of AM by transferring all the company’s energy into the topic in order to reach the related objectives.
The aim of this thesis refers to the creation of a new business process able to sustain the integration of a plastic 3D-printing machine in a relatively resisting environment against changes. This is translated by the management of seven dimensions of progress on which a polyphonic and transversal methodology has been performed. An “As is/to be” analysis explains how to define and anticipate the impacts of the plastic AM on the company. Then, tests and results have been conducted in order to challenge the expectations and adapt the other dimensions of progress in the best way. Finally, the long run vision of the technology is characterized thanks to the conclusions that show why and how the plastic (and metal) 3D-printing will be a good facilitator for the 4.0 industry transition and the maintain of the leader position of the FN Herstal on their markets.

Society faces a number of problems with so many interdependent factors that they seem impossible to solve. To find solutions for these wicked problems the world needs the collaboration of creative problem solvers from different disciplines, people who 'know what to do when they don't know what to do'. Higher education has created an environment where these problem solvers come together: a living lab.Lab education takes place in a real-life context, where a number of problem solvers from various backgrounds research, develop, learn and innovate in collaboration with end-users of participants. Creativity, future skills, research, interdisciplinary learning, leadership, self-management, working and learning in team, assessment ' All this and more is explored in this book, so that anyone can learn about 'learning in a living lab'.Are you ready to step into this world where there are countless options? Come with us to learn about the transformative power of Living Labs, which are places where imagination and reality meet and where new ideas come to life. Welcome to the future!https://www.borgerhoff-lamberigts.be/owl-press/shop/boeken/learning-in-a-living-lab
