A New Age of US Manufacturing Has Begun in California | Hello World with Ashlee Vance

Los Angeles is fast becoming a hub for manufacturing startups with ingenious new ways of making things, from robots that can do detailed metalwork to a 3D-printer that operates on a massive scale.

Well, we do it all in this one. Try to live forever. Learn some LA history. See my drunken college photos. Metal work. Robots. Building-sized 3D printers. And the most insane sugar high of all time. Like really high. Hope you enjoy!

Literally any problem
Start ups: *3D PRINTER*

he is 46, looks like a well maintained 65 year old.

Watching Brian Johnson's rejuvenation routine reminded me that I had a beer in the fridge.

[windnsea]

Great to see American ingenuity and manufacturing again.

[BlackLukeS]

Man this video was amazing. And you’ve got great self-irony. Truly showing “people that can do” in an entertaining way is itself doing something that just few can do. Keep up the great work, cheers from Italy

I love Ashlee Vance documentaries! They're not just very informative but entertaining too, I never get board watching them.

[VadimkaMr]

only thing he doesn't look any younger ! healthy and fit - 100%, but not younger ... hes delusional

[xjdisuehd]

Ashlee, as a bloke swiping through YouTube your videos here are hands down some of the best to get people interested in technology (technology isn't just software, it's hardware too).

As an engineer, Destin from SmarterEveryDay puts out some of the best manufacturing related videos recently, and had a detailed dive into that robot colony of end tips using to make parts.

[alexlarson]

This isn't necessarily entirely new tech. It's essentially a CMM scanning process in reverse in a way. The robots are using a mathematical model invented by a renault engineer most likely, called Bezier Curves. Probably alot of FFT in there too

[nukezat]

This reminds me of the 90s shows like beyond 2000. Love it!

[nicholasmarshall]

As a kid growing up in the UK during the 70's, I was intrigued by the show, Tomorrow's World. This series gives me a similar bump in optimism.

[MrRobot]

This is awesome. Love seeing the creatives build the future here in my hometown.

[richardthomas]

A very refreshing style of making a documentary. Both informative and entertaining. Looking forward to more.

[SudipBishwakarma]

This is so cool to see future of manufacturing shaped by robots. I would love to see companies that build these robots that shape the future.

[AlexdaCunha]

That guy doesn't look very young. He looks like a guy much older than he actually is trying to look young 🤭

[Erik_The_Viking]

We used to have a lot of manufacturing back in the day, and companies decided to outsource it overseas for cheap labor. It's nice to see this coming back, because this impacts businesses at every level with supply chains, as many learned the hard way with lockdowns.

[JJs_playground]

Ashlee is such a great host.

Glad to see manufacturing coming back to North America.

[OrganDanai]

There is a problem with 3D printing outside of Earth though: you need raw materials, so you need mining and smelting, and a boatload of energy. And without a protective atmosphere, a lot of high tech equipment will receive a constant battering of radiation. But I can see a future where repairs and replacements can be made in situ.

2:52 yeah...everything is possible in LA, even riding a broken backside of car!!!
btw, these series is really great. I watched Hello World series before pandemic but it was lost in few years..Thanks again for coming back...
