见分集介绍。
A company who have been making cowboy boots for generations now; and a company which restores carpets to look new again.
An inside look at a combine harvester company; and a high tech fishing rod company is examined.
Factory Made takes you to a factory that has helped transform the construction business, and makes the bad-weather damage to buildings a thing of the past. Then, find out how old carpet becomes new again! The mountains of carpet waste that used to pile up in landfills have found their way back to the factory for recycling - laying the foundation for a beautiful new carpet. And we’ll show you some rocket science - how the ballpoint pen of the astronauts is made. It involves top-secret gooey ink and a vacuum chamber that make writing upside- down a breeze.
Learn how a printing-press produces five million dollars worth of stamps in about three days, using microscopic detail and invisible ink to prevent counterfeits. Then, take a classic trip to a company that makes motorcycles to cruise the open road with speed, style and comfort. See how almost 900 pounds of metal never felt so good. Next, a distillery brews juice from a Mexican plant into top-notch tequila. Hear the real story behind the worms in the bottles.
Learn why the United States Mint needs a pizza-sized sculpture to make heads and tails on quarters, and how tiny embedded details thwart counterfeits. Then, find out how a washing machine produces more G-forces than a shuttle liftoff, and how a spider-like part holds it all together. Finally, learn how today’s fishing rods barely give the fish a fighting chance. They’re strong, light and extremely flexible because they’re made of a space-age miracle fabric: carbon fiber.
Find out how much safety can be packed into a thin sheet of glass! Today’s windshields are safe and can even double as a car radio antenna, too. Then, Factory Made takes you on a high-flying trip to a company that has been making hang gliders for decades. See how they turn over 1,000 parts into a safe aircraft that can fly high above the Earth, using only the wind for power. And finally – from gliding to zooming: watch Cessna build its fastest jet ever. See how 8,000 pounds of metal is transformed into a sleek, ultra-modern flying machine.
Factory Made takes you inside the largest combine harvester factory in the world. Then learn how real diamonds are cooked up in a lab. And - see how the machines that make your favorite ball game and carnival treats are built.
On Factory Made - see how a Utility Terrain Vehicle goes from a pile of metal parts to an off-road powerhouse. Then, see how traffic signals are made to green-light your way in any weather. And find out how your dream house can be built in a factory.
