- The x.Factory is a "Maker Space on steroids" according to some on the tour. We visit the collaborative effort from the Chaihuo Makerspace, the Chinese Government and Seeed Studios.
if you haven't seen last weeks special on Seeed Studios, you should watch it first: • The Factory Tours of S...
The HardworX tour group visits the incredible x.Factory, and discovers just how space and pedagogy meet to fulfill a dream ... a perfect place to create, make and learn. Being both creative and inspirational, the x.Factory serves to help prototype your ideas as a maker and then to advance to manufacturing that idea. By this I mean it allows makers to learn how to use equipment typically used on manufacturing lines. As a stepping stone, it affords makers the opportunity to create their ideas, prototype them in advance of funding of a startup and then prepares makers for mass manufacturing, while being a stones throw away from the central hub of Shenzhen China.
The x.Factory is open to all (internationals included). Visit their website for more details on conditions: www.xfactory.io
The x.Factory is operated by Chaihuo Makerspace www.chaihuo.org/xfactory/

Thanks for this great documentary series!
So is there accomodations in the complex for those that want to come over and use the facilities for short term proto-typing and production? It seems like it would be a fantastic fit to be able to go and stay there and use the maker space and have access to Seeed to get stuff build while you work and refine.
Unexpected Maker not that I know of but plenty of nearby hotels. Contact the xFactory for more details & conditions
I would love to see places that do small run metal working like metal turning, gear cutting and steel enclosure fabrication from the internet.
Checkout my video on HLH who do plastics and metal: ua-cam.com/video/zTmPMybOwpQ/v-deo.html and another company called Kaier Wo which also do prototypes/short runs of housings in metal and plastics ua-cam.com/video/pu_Wkh_mWpQ/v-deo.html
Thats pretty much what I'm looking for although a little lite on the metal working side of things.
get in contact with them if you want more information. They are easy to deal with. I will be posting a wrap-up video which will feature a tour of a gear making facility soon.
There is also the video on Jaifuh Metal and Plastics but its more on mass manufacturing. Lots of cool metal working related stuff though :-) ua-cam.com/video/_QG7J2k1DNc/v-deo.html
