You were a good spy ...
Nice
Id like to see like a wiring factory where they braid copper wire for high power, i saw it once it TV they make awesome huge braided copper belts with a winding machine it was insane
Strange Parts the first machine is a vacuum chamber which is used to remove air bubbles from silicone after mixing and before it cures/hardens. The other machines shown after with the gauges look like pressure Chambers, which are used for 1) curing silicone and 2) curing castings made with the silicone mold, also to prevent air bubbles.
SSMART some years ago they used to say Chinese people go spying abroad. Now it is the other way round.
You should go to a metal 3d printing factory when they come about. That'll be super crazy
I've actually been to one, before I started Strange Parts. It was totally badass. I wonder if I still have their contact info...
Strange Parts yeah I've been looking into getting small parts cnc milled out of aluminium, would be awesome to see
The Microsoft surface top guy done a long live unplanned Facebook stream of where their Surface division works and where the prototypes are made. They have huge metal 3d printers that they said cost like $300,000 each and can print to the accuracy of a hair and in many many colours. He also showed off many other machines and the general process of how they rapidly prototype designs. It's crappy quality but it's a veryyyy interesting video if you like Strange Parts. Plus he chose a viewer at random and made them a desk name plate from their metal CNC machines and shipped it to them. It's about 30 mins long, all good though.
th-cam.com/video/Zw6SZ9d794E/w-d-xo.html
this is it. It's actually 50 mins.
Ben W do you have a link for that vid?
3d printing related content? YES! that factory looked neat, I will definitely keep them in mind.
Yeah, I didn't realize who they were until we got there (since Sasha set everything up). Turns out a number of people I know work with them. They have a pretty good reputation for SLA in particular.
Im still amazed at that 24Hr turn around while more notorious companies like shapeways has a 4-22 day lead time, depending on the material. Absolutly outstanding.
Would love to see a factory of coaxconnector and for shrink tubing
I hoped to see you
If you can do 24 hour turn around on a parts order when needing to use SLA, that's just plain amazing.
The owner of this 3D printing lab was very forward thinking.
*In the future,* there will be 3D printing labs like that one in every major town.
this depends. more and more people get 3d printers in their own house.
Today, I have an FDM 3D printing factory in Reading, England :)
thats amazing tho
I think it is possible in the future if the quality and complexity of printers will be high enough to print the high end quality stuffs that we won't go to buy gadgets and non-edible stuffs anymore but buy the license online and print athome or in a "gadget farm" or something in town. So you just pick a pair of nike shoes online, choose a colour and size than pay with paypal, after that you can pick it up somewhere near home or athome if you have the printer for it. And imagine what is the possibilities if the printers working with 2-3-4-etc wire of filaments and some of them magnetic some of them drive electricity.. a whole engine printing from the web.
@Bartholomew Horatio Brunel. Yes but long term is it sustainable. The factory was very welcoming and the equipment very high quality but the work areas very messy and badly maintained. Dirt and bits of paint and plastic everywhere. Eventually those contaminants will work their way into a project and mess things up. It's an unpleasant and unhealthy work space too. That difference may not seem like much but it makes a big difference for people coming to work every day if they don't care about the space.
props to the gentleman running this factory
Guys, I think we broke the Lexcent website. Oops...
Edit: Looks like Leo managed to fix it.
Oof
ups!
What??
That's why it isn't loading!!
You should give a Squarespace promo hosting for every factory site you visit! hehehehehehehehehee
More factory tours please. Do any and every factory they will let you look around.
Loved the PCB factory.
Good work
Hey! I loved your new video! I think "small" factories like this one hold more appeal than visiting a foxconn factory, mainly because these are the kind of factories we will contact if we decide that we are crazy enought to do a kickstarter.
Also, I'd love to see one of those fabled "hidden fortress" factory in a workshop that Bunny Hwang used to talk about. You know, the ones that decide they want to make a new phone/razor combination and they have all they need to make the product in the second floor (usually something to make the case, a circuit router, and a part placing machine) and maybe in 24/48 hours they made a small run batch enough to see if this kind of product will stick. IDK if they exist anymore but sure would love to see how such a self-contained production chain would work.
Why not foxconn!?
"Dear Sir, dear Madam,
I built my own iPhone
Yours truly,
Scotty"
"send from an samsung-tablet"
Considering how easy it was in China to get all the parts to build a custom iPhone, I don't know if that's enough to get into foxconn lmao, they make a lot of things that couldn't be shown on camera
Like making their empliyees commit suicide?
I used to work in Foxconn (IDPBG division) as an IT PM. One of my jobs was to show the clients (or namely, Apple) around in the assembly line. The security was really stringent and anyone wanted to see the assembly line needed to file an application beforehand.. One day I received a visiting application and was surprised when I saw the name of the applicant read as 'Tim Cook'.
Wei Ou Wait, you almost met Tim Cook?
I’d love to see a Chinese CNC shop! Lots of great Chinese CNC machinists out there making great unique products.
I agree with that. CNC factory would be cool to visit.
How wonderfully kind of them to let you in and be so helpful and informative :-)
Try Audi factory in Ingolstadt, Germany. They do very nice factory tour for mere mortals. They normally have very strict rules on taking photos inside but they might do an exception for you.
A Lithium-ion cell factory would be cool, or a PCB factory
leon buck ive seen part of pcb making and its so fucking messy even here in EU, china will be messier😂
Panasonic boiiii
you mean PanasaniG
jk thats a knockoff brand
I'm really glad I found this channel. I really look forward to the videos you post Mr. Scotty, they're extremely interesting and usually informative while still retaining the "fun factor". Well done sir, keep 'em coming!
I wish this video was longer. I love 3D printers! Thank you for this!!!
These videos are so cool. I love seeing all these different places on your channel!
Your videos are absolutely amazing. I love watching them as soon as they come out. They really inspire me and I have recently started doing iPhone repairs because of you!
Definitely cell phone factory! Loved that!
This was Gold! Upvoted! Thanks for doing this video bud! Much appreciated!
Love to see how an OLED screen is made.Awesome video and thanks for sharing once again. Big ups from New Zealand
One of the few channels that I have the bell on. No matter the video I love it! Thanks!!
I love seeing these videos man. Keep it up. 👍
Tech Thusiast you also have a great channel.
Thanks for another great video. Would love to see factories which make cameras and/or photography equipment!
Nice walk-through inside chinese 3D printing factory. Thank you for the video.
You should visit LCSC/EASYEDA/JLCPCB (Same companies) factory! They make PCBs for very cheap, and nice quality. They also sell many electronic components. And are situated in Shenzhen!
This is real dope shit!
An American person, filming in China & Inspiring an Indian & the rest of the world!
Scotty this is like long distance impact on young adults like me! Keep up the good work!
Nikhil Kudale Pathetically Lame
Rishabh Purohit ya it's lame for people like you who still live off their dad's money lmao
Ahahaha Rishabh Purohit is getting buuuurn
Lmao for you. You don't know shit about people or what they've been through. and yet, you assume what they have or what they enjoy. So much so for distanced Impact.
love your videos, keep it up!! Thanks dude
Great tour and great and friendly interview! Good ambassador and great showcase of humans at their cooperative best.
The factory where they make the youtube play button rewards.
Gonna be a challenge for sure, but you like challenges, so lets see if your up for the task.
Keep vlogging!
Winston from Serpentza has already made a video on it, but he didn't get in.
YESSSS!!!
Serpentza did it
ELECTROHAXZ yessss
Yeeey nice vid again Scotty! Very recognizable :D Were there any other mysterious factories on the way up to that printshop?
Some factories that might be interesting to visit:
some place that prepares ABS pellets (for use in injection molding later) or acrylic sheet stock
small electronics components (LEDs, resistors,caps etc)
COB LED strip factory (lots of wirebonding! ;-) )
Mouldmaking facility (lots of EDM!)
And ofcourse always welcome to visit our "factory" here - we are slowly ramping up our audiogear production :-)
Great suggestions, Stijn! Strange Parts may indeed need to come visit your little factory out in the Netherlands at some point - I'm sure people would love to see the kind of magic you create.
Are you from the Netherlands?? (Ik wel) 😁
Ja :-)
Kuipers is een goede achternaam ;)
This was excellent. Very cool to how this stuff is made. Thanks for posting. You now have a new subscriber. :)
thanks for the tour! learned a lot today
Not what I expected what Sasha would look like.
Anyone else?
Anup Pandey Exactly. We both think alike
nice content. you should upload more on this topic
thanks for exploring. thanks for coming all the way to China. appreciated.
I would love to see a factory producing optical elements. Lenses and mirrors and such. I know there are even companies which produce custom designed lenses.
Another awesome one would be a silicon chip factory.
BYD factory.... Please - I know you haven't done anything about cars yet, but please. Your videos are awesome bro.
Yes, BYD - Build Your Dreams!
A factory tour of BYD, a ride on their Skyrail, and an interview with their design director, Wolfgang Egger.
ohh who is wofgang Egger, is he in Chongqing ?
These guys are awesome and I can personally recommend them. The quality of the parts is among the best I've seen using this technology, the prices are good and service is quick!
Connor McGreggor is now into 3d printing. Very nice and informative factory tour.
Great as always.
I'd like to see semiconductor factories or semiconductor fabless companies.
Keep it up :-)
It is possible for you to visit any kind of batteries factory??? Any kind, mobile phone, drone, li-po, li-ion batteries, it will be really interesting!!!
Awesome that they were so open! Very interesting video. Thanks!
Thank you for this video. I need some stuff 3D printers and found Lexcent very helpful. Also very professional 👍👍
Sasha said: "Somebody hooked me up with Max" . That somebody would be me 😎
Henk Werner hook up like they dating ?
Your worse enemy 😂 No, not dating. Sasha needed a supplier and I advised Max to him.
Henk Werner max to advertise her business
Your worse enemy Good people deserve good business 😎
Henk Werner well then they should all advertise yours mate. Hey everyone, go visit Henk at Trouble Maker in Shenzhen!
A "drone" factory :)
Bringamosa i
?
you mean DJI......
Nah DJI is one of those big companies. There a a LOT of Chinese drones around these days, so just a drone factory. If that actually exists.
here is the link th-cam.com/video/jHRb5OkN2E4/w-d-xo.html
That was awesome! Thanks for this.
I wish I had a factory for you to come visit. Great Vid!
My School had a 3D printer and i was the only student in the whole school who ever used it/most used. I 3D printed so many projects for my A-Level Graphics Projects, so this video is very interesting for me :D
Sinbad That's cool that you took advantage of that, many schools don't have them.
Sinbad iii
I m the only person in school who has a 3d printer actually 2 printers even the 3d printing teachers in our school ark me about things lol
Sinbad here in my university you have to wait for a week to get your model printed cuz a lot students are using it.
I want to see the factory where youtube play buttons are made, as they are also made in China! :)
Serpentza tried to get in to see it but they wouldn't let him in to do a tour.
th-cam.com/video/4EL4xBxc5IA/w-d-xo.html
TH-cam play buttons are made by one of the factories of Golden Tiger Hardware Industrial CO., LTD in Dongguan China.
Scotty, I don't know what to say. I've never been more interested in this kind of technology than I am now. I've never seen inside a factory like this before. This is amazing! Please, keep showing us the world through your eyes. :D
Thanks for the video, I will be checking them out as part of my wheelhouse for bigger projects.
I think Lexcent's site got an internet hug of death.
yes.. too many traffic after this video has been uploaded...
Can we see a camera facility that makes the lenses and the sensors specifically?
Absolutely love your videos Scotty!!
Considering that an important part the iPhone experience is the unboxing. My suggestion would be a factory that produces mobile phone packaging.
It's really nice of them to show you the inside of their factory.
Build other smart phones like Huawei P20 Pro twilight with same or better specs...
Try also to build a HP Elite x3 with same or better specs.
Please...
I'd love to see some cheap McDonald like toy factories. Thank you for making these great videos
What a great tour of this factory, Leo looks like a cool dude.
Hey Scot another great video and I like your style !
i would really like to see how the tiny little screws and the cheap tools are made !
1:54 when you got your side chick at office and camera rocks up
Im not going to lie... Im really starting to love your content!
Hey man, I just got back from Shenzhen and gotta say I loved the city. Would've been nice if I could bump into you, hope you are having a great time there. Cheers!
cool...keep up the good work bro love your style
Hello Bro, Could you find a good solar Panel company, inverter, and Battery like tesla...
Thanks.
Solar cell factorys and some which cast liquid metals seems interesting.
And maybe the construction site of magnet trains (if they are build in your area)?
I know this is a year later, but I thought this was a great video. Really appreciate getting a glimpse at this sort of micro reality of manufacturing!
Loved this video. Subscribed. Would love to venture into the manufacturing business and this is inspiring. Thank you.
Well, for a large part, show us what You want to see. Use 'us', your channel, as an excuse to go see and explore or develope whatever You want. Remember you, by chance, are the eyes on the ground for a Lot of guys exactly like you that somehow happened not to be in that part of the world right now. I (as some dude that at least used to be able to 'built' from parts his own pc in the late 90's and first decade of the 2000's but kniw jack sh*t about the innerds of a mobile phone) actually learned a lot about how modern electronics work and how to tweak or even built them from your iphoneheadsetjack film. I can imagine younger generations (i.e. me if born 20 years later) could watch it as a story-like crashcourse to enter an electronics career. Your tone of voice/view are already very pleasant to watch witch is totally unique in electronics vid land. Also very nice to see Chinese business and its opportunities for all parties. Really enjoying your work. Maybe I'd like to see a bit of (while continuing your Shenzhen etc focus) trying to achieve something as a westerner in far less show world like Mega City Chongqing. That might be intrested. And very cool from your perspective.
Maybe try getting into some Xiaomi factory. Thanks for video!
Coming to Shenzhen in a couple of days.. can't wait!!
I'd really like to see more videos in factories like this. Factories that focus on prototyping and products that are accessible to people working on small to medium sized projects.
I would love to see the DJI drone factory or some drone making factory.
VR headsets factory. Drone / quadcopter factory.
Man you are amazing. As a student studying to be an enginier all types of production are interesting.
I'd like to see more 3D printing or additive manufacturing techniques, what materials they use, and production techniques they do for prototyping. It might not only from plastic and it could be from metal-based materials as well. Great stuff... keep the good work.
Hi Scotty GREAT video been a sub since your first video and watched them all!, Could you try see an electric car factory or a factory that make's the battery cells for electric cars or even phones for that matter! I do a channel about Electric cars so stuff like that is of great interest to me. Other idea's solar PV factory as i know China are big on that now.
Nicolas Raimo as a chinese i may wondering r u business spy,haha
If you click my channel your see i try promote all things battery tech
I remember seeing on Top Gear that China has a large market for knock-off vehicles from popular car manufacturers. Seeing inside a vehicle plant like that would be really cool.
Excellent thanks for this video😎👏
I got into 3d printing via Cody Wilson, Defense Distributed, and I work for 3M inc where we do a ton of 3d printing for products for our customers. I work in the supply chain team but we do a ton of engineering and production there. Fascinating field and great video!
Another interesting video keep up the good work
I think you just crashed their website :O
Thank you, a fascinating and informative video.
I used to do that job with the molding and SLA parts at a prototype company. Loved working there it was WILD
Are there any silicon fabs out there? I’d love to see inside a chinese one. I’d also like to see a factory that makes relays or motors to see the coil production process.
They dont have that automated? :D
Every bulb is cooled and pumped individual byh and? :D
Display production AMOLED(LED, amoled might not be possible vs IPS)
Ahmed Hissan, This would be wonderful, but any kind of screen would be really cool.
I dunno if you actually read comments but if you do I just wanted to say your video’s are so interesting to watch always! Love them!!
I love these factory videos man
A guitar factory in China would be amazing,
everything facory could been find in china, some is good , some are bad, that depend him to go which
Yes gonna purchase one from wish.com hope it would be fine
Lithium Ion battery factory visit would be awesome!
Mate all of them ! What ever crosses your way, love the videos !
sickkkkkk. I'd love to go to shenzhen some time.
Also, I'd love to see a PCB plant.
lexcent Website is "in trouble becuase of the number of people you are visiting now." Seems like this was pretty good advertisement for them XD
Or they simply don't know how to make a proper website. A simple Wordpress site on a $1/month host can handle a million daily visors with the right setup.
C00ltronix so it seems like DDos attacked by 344+ haters lol
would love to see the manufacturers of *the Clone Video Game Consoles*
Not much to see. Some picknplace machines, reflow soldering, testing, boxing. All the electronics factories look very similar. You see one, you've seen all (well, depending on size, smaller ones, like the factory in this video are usually really dirty, bigger ones are often spotless clean)
Don't worry it's well hidden in the basement behind some 3D printers.
China is so advanced that they're printing new 3D printers with older 3D printers... soon they'll be 3D printing 3D videos for TH-cam3D.... Tsk-Tsk
Great vid! My Factory Suggestion would be a Titanium Factory in know there's a couple that build Titanium Bmx's but other than not sure.... Thanks for another great factory upload!
Your channel is heaven for tech geeks!
Xiao Mi factory would be great!
maybe and TV factory or PC case factory
Awesome....I love it 3d printing we create anything .....thank u so much ur this video
Super interesting! Thanks for the video!
