Digitalization can reduce or even reverse the gap of economic advantage between the model of mass production and economies of scale, and that of crafted and custom production. In a productive scenario that is increasingly 4.0, where Italian companies stand out in the world precisely for innovation and personalization through “making,” through very high levels of craftsmanship that are combined with industrial production in a unique way, it is worth investigating the transmission of these forms of expertise. Italian schools of design and crafts, an international reference point, tell us how the demand for education is changing; the world of production responds to the question of new professional figures required by companies.
