No music., just raw manufacturing process edited nicely. thanks!

It is amazing not only to behold the process but also to consider that the machines you see in action must've been one-offs that were designed and built just for this factory. It is all so precise and complex that it you'd think once they get the line up and running, they'd make the same model for 25 years.

I've worked in manufacturing for 8 years and its still neat to watch how things are made.

That was not only extremely interesting, but really pleasant, beautifully filmed and edited and with no music - really well produced audio. Thanks!

This is one of the cleanest foundries you will ever see.

[manbearpig]

It's amazing all the tooling used, the guys that built those machines must be incredibly smart

Nice to see that a BMW engine starts life the same as it ends... on fire.

[ColoradoMoe]

It's amazing how they turn raw materials into scrap.

[scheusselmensch]

Could we see where they make the defective engine bearings next please?!

[saganich]

This is where they forge the indestructible Check Engine Light 💡

The way the fork lift operator drove the vehicle in reverse and when he lift and poured the liquid aluminium into the kiln .... He earned my respect.

I love how badass the guys who take out the hot metal parts are. Has a piece of metal that a couple hundred degrees dangling in front of him, casually maneuvers it while dressed in a regular shirt.

[johndoe]

I didn't expect the metal pouring the sound so satisfying

[Chickenassable]

I expected a massive German pounding steel like a black Smith with rammstein playing in the back ground and some blonde chick cracking a whip

[michaelesposito]

Those robots making a sand castle with chopsticks are just insane

[stoyanstoyanov]

Absolutely awesome video!
I am surprised how little protective gear the workers use. And everything is too slow, and too clean. As someone commented, it's probably a prototype workshop.

with all this technology you think they would put turn signals in their cars

Timing chains are made in the chocolate factory next door.

“and this is where we install the guaranteed failure points and intermittent electrical problems”

Later they added an imperfection that would cost thousands in repairs to the consumer.
