Abstract
The present article discusses the importance of new processes, emerging materials, and new technologies as key strategies for conceiving, designing, and producing innovative products and systems. Over the past decade, advancements in these fields have significantly influenced how products and systems are conceptualized and designed, impacting the entire value chain and the methods for creating and changing business models. This transformation enables speculation and the crafting of new artifacts and future scenarios by altering how products are developed, upgraded, and updated, offering benefits in idea creation, experimentation, testing, and sustainability. The article presents the main topics through the subjects of the papers submitted to the track “[CHANGING] Products and Production”. In this regard, it will delve into themes such as, but not limited to, new aesthetics and functions in product design, AI, haptic and wearable technologies, bio-fabrication.
