Analysis of Modular Design Applicable in Prosumer Scope. Guideline in the Creation of a New Modular Design Model

Modular design is the based on independent and connectable modules to achieve product variety. It an ideal tool that could facilitate inclusion of prosumers in creative process. However, its evolution has focused development not end users. The creation a new modular model for respond their needs while exploiting advantages modularity. present work analyzes applicability prosumer scope defines guideline model. To this end, methods are collected analyzed throughout previously defined intersection between both terms through series real cases show what objectives if products meet needs. These results will establish current potential link prosumers. Finally, stages develop previous presented. paper presents relevant findings such as lack conceptual phases ensure benefits from design.
