Manufacturing & industrial processes Videos Recommended on Hacker News (69)

Manufacturing & industrial processes is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 69 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2010 and 2026 — 142 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.

Manufacturing: factories, how things are made, injection molding, casting, machining, supply chain, assembly lines, industrial automation, lean production, mass production tours.

Why HN keeps sending people here — on The Ingenious Design of the Aluminum Beverage Can: “Whenever it’s about cans I can only recommend this video from the engineer guy” — an HN commenter, 2025.
