After a tremendous weekend at the Maker Faire Shenzhen 2018, we unveiled our new maker space - Chaihuo x.factory Dongguan and hosted its very first event with some lucky adventurers, exploring the future of manufacturing for the maker community!
在盛大的深圳制汇节周末结束后，东莞柴火创客空间也迎来了首次亮相，并与一些幸运的冒险家共同举办了第一次内测活动，共同为创客社区探索制造的未来！
Chaihuo x.factory Dongguan is situated at Vanke 1835 Creative Commune, with the approach to open up Dongguan’s manufacturing resources, lowering the manufacturing barriers for the maker community!
东莞柴火创客空间位于万科1835创想社，以开拓东莞生产制造业资源为目的，为创客社区降低从原型到制造生产的门槛！
The tour was the first sneak peek of Chaihuo x.factory Dongguan and only 15 people were able to participate. Let me introduce some of the participants of this trip. Roni, a 22 year-old maker from Israel, who has made a smart dog plastic bag dispenser and a smart cat toy. Hideo, a Japanese maker who creates equipment that supports simple life and human ability, with his lab named Human Tech Lab. This shows that makers from different background are already looking forward to the new branch of Chaihuo x.factory Dongguan!
这一次因为是东莞柴火的第一次内测活动，因此只邀请了15位参与。不过，请让我介绍一些这次随行的小伙伴。Roni, 一位22岁来自以色列的创客，设计了智能狗狗拾便器和智能猫玩具，在今年的深圳制汇节中也有幸向深圳市副市长王立新进行展示。 Hideo,一位来自日本的创客和旨在创造支持简单生活，发挥人类能力的设备，因此推出人力脱水机和移动棉纺车轮等项目。由此可见，有来自不同背景以及方向的创客都对柴火的新据点带有期待！
To make sure the participants get a comprehensive understanding of this new space and the manufacturing ecosystem of Dongguan City, we’ve prepared a forum about Smart City and Manufacturing. We’ve invited to Alex Qian, the Director of Urban Research Institute of China Vanke Co., Ltd. to talk about how Dongguan as a city are evolving and the Head of Engineering at Dongguan Vanke, Shikui Liu to talk about how technologies are developing in construction. Last but not the least, out founder Eric Pan gave a talk about the mission of Chaihuo x.factory and how and why Maker culture will be an important part of the development.
为了让参与者更加深入了解东莞的新空间以及本土的制作生态环境，我们准备了一个关于智能城市和智能制造的论坛。我们邀请了万科研究院院长钱源讨论了东莞作为一个城市的发展趋势以及东莞万科工程总经理刘实逵探讨科技在建造中的力量。最后，我们柴火创客创始人潘昊就东莞柴火的愿景以及如何将创客文化成为创新的一部分进行了讨论。
During the Smart manufacturing forum, our founder Eric reviewed the mission of Chaihuo x.factory Dongguan and proposed the idea of Open Source Manufacturing in Dongguan, which will make Dongguan’s manufacturing resources more accessible to makers!
在智能制造论坛上，我们的创始人潘昊表示了东莞柴火x.factory的愿景，并提出了开源制造的理念，这将使东莞本土的制造业资源更易于服务创客以及社区的使用！
Apart from the forum, there are also tours. We organised a trip to visit a current construction project by Vanke showcasing how technologies are also being developed and deployed in construction sites., where there is a VR experience center and people can experience some of the construction accidents.
除了论坛以外，我们还组织参观了万科目前在建的东江之星项目，展示了一些科技可以在建筑工地上运用。其中包括了一个VR体验中心；利用VR技术来体验工地事故来提醒工地安全事项。
For the last part of the tour, we organised a visit to one of the fully automatic factories in Dongguan, Janus Precision Components. The factory uses robotic arms and automated guided vehicles to replace the work that used to be done manually, giving us a glimpse of the future of manufacturing.
在行程的最后一部分，我们组织参观了位于东莞的劲胜无人工厂。该工厂使用机械手臂以及全自动引导车来取代从前人力完成的工作，展示着制造行业的未来。
Chaihuo x.factory Dongguan is the next landmark after Shenzhen, with its unique location and strong manufacturing resources; it can help you to go from prototypes to batch production or even mass production. So, if you are start-ups or doing a project that needs more support for manufacturing, join us at the new branch of Chaihuo x.factory in Dongguan! What’s more, if your products/solutions can cooperate and add values to the manufacturing industry and you’d like to tap into the China ecosystem, let us know and we’d like to help connect you with the local resources in Dongguan, to explore future collaborations!
东莞柴火创客空间将是下一个仅次于深圳的科技地标，其拥有着得天独厚的地理位置和雄厚的制造资源；它可以帮助您从原型打造到小批量生产，甚至大批量生产。当然，知道谁才是我们要找的人，也很重要，答案很简单:Maker Pros；需要从原型打造走向小批量生产的极客。
只要你有一技之长，并且有在做的项目，那么你就赶紧来吧！
