The Factory of the World - Documentary On Manufacturing In Shenzhen

Posted by samzenpus on from the how's-it-made dept.

szczys writes: This Hackaday documentary (video) looks at the changing ecosystem of manufacturing in the Pearl River Delta (Shenzhen, China) through interviews with product engineers involved with the MIT Media Lab manufacturing program, Finance professionals in Hong Kong, and notables in the Maker Industry. Worth checking out for anyone thinking of a hardware startup or just interested in how hardware gets made.

  1. "Documentary"? by Doub · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's half a dozen interview of westerners slapped together with a background music, with poor sound recording on top of that. It hardly deserves the "documentary" qualifier. And if you expect to see any manufacturing done in Shenzhen, you'll be disappointed.
