“…An example of this is hacker users, who also make modifications to make the product grow and obtain new functionalities that they did not have before [4]. For this reason, the number of both physical and digital tools set aside for this purpose has increased exponentially in recent years [5,6], causing many users to use them frequently unconsciously. These tools are not only intended for individual use, as we can also find tools such as consumer-based coopetition, crowdsourcing and value co-creation [7].…”

Product design is a process developed by specialized profiles such as designers or engineers. For this reason, most of product design and/or manufacturing methods developed are aimed at experienced professionals. However, in the current social and technological context, we observe that the number of prosumers, users who partially produce the products they consume, is increasing. These users are involved in design, manufacturing or assembly phases of the product to obtain final results that respond to specific needs and desires. Given this emerging trend, we wonder if there are methodologies focused on these users in particular, both in the academic field and in practice. This work aims to clarify this issue through a review of research papers and real cases. The results obtained differentiate between the methodologies that have been defined in the academic field and those that have not been compiled but whose repeated use has agreed its application and existence in practice. The methodologies identified are analyzed in two tables that summarize how they are applied and what their main objective is. The results and conclusions offer both the scientific community and the prosumers a series of product design and manufacturing methods focused on non-specialized profiles.
