Description du projet
Bâtir l’entreprise européenne du meuble
La fabrication de meubles est une entreprise juteuse qui représente plus de 25 % de la consommation mondiale de meubles. Il s’agit également d’un secteur en pleine transformation, passant d’une approche DIY (Do It Yourself ou «Faites-le vous-même») à une approche DIT (Do It Together ou «Faisons-le ensemble»). Le projet INEDIT, financé par l’UE, va créer un écosystème permettant de transformer l’approche DIY au sein des FabLabs en une approche DIT professionnelle. Il capitalisera sur les connaissances, la créativité et les idées en matière de conception et techniques conceptualisées par des parties prenantes interdisciplinaires et parfois même de nouveaux acteurs. Afin de démontrer le potentiel d’innovation que renferme la fabrication sociale au sein de l’économie circulaire, le projet le testera dans quatre cas d’utilisation croisée: fabrication de panneaux en bois durables et impression 3D de bois, impression 3D de plastique recyclé et «smartification».
Objectif
"INEDIT creates an open innovation European DIT ecosystem for sustainable furniture co-creation. It channels the creativity of consumers, shapes it through designers’ professional skills, and makes it viable by leveraging on the expertise of production specialists in order to deliver sustainable, smart and personalized new products in a shorter time to market. INEDIT intends to demonstrate the capacity to turn the well-known ‘Do It Yourself’ (DIY) approach applied by individuals within FabLabs into a professional approach named ‘Do It Together’ (DIT). The DIT approach will be applied by customers and professional producers, especially SMEs, for conveying higher customer satisfaction through customer-driven production. DIT is a novel approach capitalizing on the knowledge, creativity and ideas of design and engineering conceptualized by interdisciplinary stakeholders and sometimes even new actors. It is powered by existing European innovation ecosystems shaping new products across EU countries. INEDIT demonstrates the approach through four cross use cases with high societal impact: sustainable wood panels manufacturing and 3D-printing of wood, 3D printing of recycled plastic and ""smartification"". Sustainability and consideration of individual preferences, especially of women and men, will be our guiding thread. INEDIT addresses societal challenges such as contribution to reduce the amount of produced CO2 in focusing on European-wide production, creation and maintenance of EU-wide job opportunities. This will lead to new business opportunities supported by business model innovation. Moreover, these innovative networked local manufacturing competences and production facilities across the EU will solve ethical concerns within the manufacturing network. INEDIT intends to demonstrate, through its twin - digital and physical - platform, the potential innovation around social manufacturing within the circular economy in designing globally while producing locally."
