A bricolage perspective on democratising innovation: The case of 3D printing in makerspaces

Ahmad Beltagui et al.

Summary: This study reveals that makerspace members use a bricolage approach, combining resources to create innovations with 3D printing technology. However, this bricolage restricts commercial growth, indicating a need for more structured processes and potential departure from makerspaces.
