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: https://youtu.be/xi_zk9OG1R0 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).
