ElI5: How do they make machines that make proprietary product?

681 views

i was watching How It’s made, and there was a dedicated machine for a particular part of the product something as little as a proprietary bottle cap. and it was a huge machine. Who got the time to sit and invent the machine for that little piece. think of the variety of such designs, so does that mean you need a different new machine for any other special design?

also machines that make machines like robot machines making robot machines.

As someone else said – engineers design the machines.

Making the custom pieces is typically accomplished by a machine shop. Think of the metal panels that cover the moving pieces of a machine. Those start as a sheet of metal, get stamped/cut into a certain shape, then screwholes are drilled and they are pressed to create angles.
