The Factory Tours of Shenzhen – Kaier Wo
Whether you are prototyping an idea in readiness for your kickstarter campaign, designing a car or manufacturing a high value medical device with low volume production, then this company could be what you are looking for. Kaier Wo is a prototyping house that operates out of Shenzhen China. SOE and the HardworX tour group take a look at their facilities and services, which include: CNC machining (plastics, wood and metal) silicon mould vacuum casting, 3D printing, sheet metal casting, RIM (reaction injection moulding), and full assembly. Like other prototyping houses we visited, they do some similar things, however each one has its own differences also which in this case include sheet metal bending and laser cutting of metal, CNC of wood and more.
Led by factory representative Joe Chen, we looked at the many processes, watched as workers poured moulds and hand cleaned/polished parts etc. If you need just one prototype or want to manufacture in low volume, Kaier Wo might be what you are looking for.
