“…The openness of a makerspace seems to be an important factor for informal knowledge transfer and potential (business) partnerships enriching the school environment. To operate a makerspace in school as a "Social enterprise" [24] is identified to be preferable (as discussed in 3.3 The development trajectory of a school makerspace). Therefore, especially the category of open makerspaces located in schools seems in need of further research.…”

“…The commercial aspect and the openness are opposing qualities of makerspaces as identified by Langley et al "It seems that the presence of conditional sharing is important when one tries to further commercialize, while the presence of unconditional sharing is important to keep the sharing and community spirit alive for attracting new participants."

This systematic literature review addresses strongly on makerspaces in schools. An evaluation of literature about their status-quo shows qualitative and quantitative knowledge gaps in the relatively new field of makerspaces in and used by schools according to infrastructure, funding, and administration. A taxonomy concerning physical existing makerspaces in schools and used by schools including parameters like location, responsibilities, financing, instructors, users, time restrictions, and feasible maker activities is developed. Two different electronic journal databases, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and ScienceDirect, acted as source for this literature review. Most of this existing literature concentrates on the educational maker activities and only some feature additional information like the physical space, the financing or else. Nonetheless, these rare findings suggest four main categories of real-world makerspaces used for educational pur-poses in schools: External makerspaces, school makerspaces, open makerspaces located in schools, and temporary (Pop-up) makerspaces. Furthermore, we identified the need for investigations on the question of open makerspaces located in schools and the financial and organizational structure to operate them.

“…The makerspaces are important because they influence a range of social dynamics on local, regional and national levels (Birtchnell et al, 2017;Langley et al, 2017;Mortara and Parisot, 2016). In general, the makerspace movement tries to democratize technology by sharing tools such as AMT in social spaces that facilitates learning and collaboration on new ideas and projects (Browder et al, 2019).…”

“…However, the tension that exists between technology sharing and technology commercialization requires greater understanding if these business practices are to develop. Langley et al (2017), who studied the research that explores how AMT shapes the trajectories of emerging digital entrepreneurial firms, describe archetypal trajectories that maker initiatives pass through in the transition from makers to social enterprises and social entrepreneurs.…”

PurposeThis paper reviews research on the intersection between additive manufacturing technologies (AMTs) and business models (BM). The purpose of the review is to synthesize past research for the benefit of researchers, to describe the dominant research themes and aggregated research questions and to identify research gaps in the literature.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review of secondary data was conducted. The 288 publications in the review appeared in peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings papers and book chapters. All publications are listed in this paper by publication year and publication source. The review also distinguishes between empirical and non-empirical studies, describes methodological approaches and categorizes the publications by unit of analysis and by theme.FindingsResearch on the intersection between AMT and BM, which has increased significantly in the last three years, reflects firms' and industries' growing interest in digital manufacturing processes. This review identifies twelve dominant themes in the literature that contribute important insights to the field. Aggregated research questions are identified in each theme. Research advances and gaps are presented. Four themes relate directly to BM: (1) BM types, (2) BM and technology, (3) BM design and processes and (4) BM value and supply chains.Originality/valueThis review is the first systematic literature review on the intersection between AMT and BM. As such, the review provides a guide for researchers as they explore gaps in the research and develop research questions on an aggregated level. The review also supports users of such technologies as they review their business practices and models in the so-called Digital Revolution.
