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

677 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.

For the bottle caps specifically, alot of the equipment will be tools that fit in bigger generic tools like a press.

For example, I used to work in plastic injection moulding, and you could have one press, and lots of moulds that fit in it to make various components, it’s not so much a new machine for everything new, more what tooling can we design that fits our current capabilities that works.
